    In a sense yes but ultimately we have to judge the evidence for level of proficiency. #sblchat

    A5: Standards provide language for collaboration. It helps Ts work as a team building reusable content. Esp if complexity leveled. #sblchat

    Q6 - How might you empower your Learners to connect Standards in order to create deeper proficiency, retention, or relevance? #sblchat
  • garnet_hillman - Moderator Jan 4 @ 9:53 PM EST
    A6 Bring Ss into the process of deconstructing standards. They will engage and see deeper connections and increased understanding. #sblchat

    A6 - What if our Learners created assessments of several Standards and explained why the connections? #JustThinking #sblchat
  • MelanyStowe Jan 4 @ 9:54 PM EST
    I have no problem w/ standards, but would prefer student-based learning. Standards & standard assessments drive standard behavior. #sblchat

    If there's consensus here that FA should produce no grades, why does FA still mean "little test" for most educators? #sblchat
