robin_rnh22 Sep 26 @ 7:36 PM EDT

A1- We can try new ways and strategies to present the information. Learn more about the student and the ways they learn best. #formativechat

wesaquje Sep 26 @ 7:39 PM EDT

A1: Ask the S what would help them. What do they find fun? #formativechat

slm12 Sep 26 @ 7:39 PM EDT

A1: #formativechat If you give the Ss a different avenue for his voice/work to be heard, they try harder. For ex. whiteboard vs paper

Rdene915 - Moderator Sep 26 @ 7:40 PM EDT

@mrsschnalzer #formativechat @goformative And learnin abt the Ss builds relatshps, so many benefits thru this

davidwkwan - Moderator Sep 26 @ 7:40 PM EDT

@wesaquje #formativechat @goformative Welcome Jessica, good to have you with us!

slm12 Sep 26 @ 7:41 PM EDT

A1: #formativechat High fiving the baby steps helps the Ss. Sometimes, the concept just needs to b differentiated for that student.

MrDiMauro Sep 26 @ 7:41 PM EDT

@davidwkwan @legitkfrauey Baby steps are still steps! #formativechat

nhsdwelch Sep 26 @ 7:41 PM EDT

A1: Use parables & analogies to relate; tell stories that connect S with content/skill #formativechat

A2: Can't punish a student for their home life. Work with them to teach and model responsibility. #formativechat

MrDiMauro Sep 26 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@Rdene915 @goformative students hold us in such high opinion is reall surprises them to hear we're imperfect. #formativechat

mrsschnalzer Sep 26 @ 7:44 PM EDT

A2: share personal stories, explain the importance of 21st century skills, the working world its a learning experience #formativechat

Rdene915 - Moderator Sep 26 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@nhsdwelch #formativechat @goformative Great idea, try diff approaches,Ss can connect, helps build knwledge thru meaning anothr #pittsburgh

Great Ideas @mrs #formativechat

MrDiMauro Sep 26 @ 7:46 PM EDT

2A Show them their actions have consequences. Relate it to what they might want to be when they group up. #formativechat

PLloydHenry Sep 26 @ 7:46 PM EDT

A2:negotiate fair due dates, ensure tasks are manageable &are appropriately scaffolded &Ss have had opportunities to practise #formativechat

Rdene915 - Moderator Sep 26 @ 7:46 PM EDT

@legitkfrauey #formativechat @goformative Some argue abt taking pts off, but we have to have accountability/responsibility

outcomesU Sep 26 @ 7:47 PM EDT

My son struggles with this. I want his teacher to be consistent with expectations and consequences. #formativechat

Miss_Lievens Sep 26 @ 7:47 PM EDT

A2: See why things are late. Kids deal with a lot that we don't always know about. HW may be the least of their worries #formativechat

Rdene915 - Moderator Sep 26 @ 7:47 PM EDT

@PLloydHenry #formativechat @goformative Sometimes just the discussn abt importance of due dates,have Ss be opn with if they nd extensions

legitkfrauey Sep 26 @ 7:48 PM EDT

@Rdene915 @goformative 100% agree! #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Sep 26 @ 7:48 PM EDT

mrsschnalzer Sep 26 @ 7:49 PM EDT

@davidwkwan good ideas #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Sep 26 @ 7:49 PM EDT

@outcomesU yes, consistency is supper important #formativechat

MrRussoRH Sep 26 @ 7:49 PM EDT

A2: sit with S & talk about reason for assignment being late. Remember that as adults we turn things in late w/o recourse. #formativechat

PLloydHenry Sep 26 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A2: we don't punish poor learning skills by punishing SS academically #formativechat

Rdene915 - Moderator Sep 26 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@Miss_Lievens #formativechat @goformative I always tell them to come to me, let me know, but also some things planned in advance,

djsardine Sep 26 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@MrRussoRH add 'all the time' to that #formativechat

MrDiMauro Sep 26 @ 7:54 PM EDT

3A Be ready to track data anytime. Small group, one on one, centers, whole group. #formativechat

nhsdwelch Sep 26 @ 7:54 PM EDT

A3: Allow S to run meetings after looking at their own data w/a T. What to they need through their eyes, not ours? #formativechat

slm12 Sep 26 @ 7:55 PM EDT

A3: #formativechat My answer is to use something that gives live results immediately so that you as T know what conversations have to happen

Rdene915 - Moderator Sep 26 @ 7:56 PM EDT

@legitkfrauey #formativechat @goformative Just one of many factors to consider,

nhsdwelch Sep 26 @ 7:56 PM EDT

A3: Allow S to run meetings after looking at their own data w/a T. What do they need through their eyes (not ours)? #formativechat

MrDiMauro Sep 26 @ 7:56 PM EDT

3A One hard thing for me is keeping data organized. I’ll use note cards, G-Docs, or even write a note on my hand. #formativechat

kispypniko Sep 26 @ 7:56 PM EDT

A3 Don't over plan, leave room for a change, don't assume, assess #formativechat https://t.co/7JI6rduxiZ

@davidwkwan #formativechat @goformative A3 Know what & why we are assessing, look at results, consider our Ss, plan next steps #education

MrRussoRH Sep 26 @ 7:58 PM EDT

A3: keep data collection simple as possible. Formative vs. summative, have Ss record and evaluate their own scores. #formativechat
