#miched Archive

The #michED chat is a grassroots effort dedicated to giving teachers, students, and parents across Michigan a bigger voice in the conversation about education in our state. We welcome all voices through a variety of projects, media, and social networking. We’re trying to address educational issues through apolitical conversation, spreading ideas and stories of success from Michigan classrooms across the state, and helping teachers and students regain the courage to connect and demonstrate that schools in Michigan are creating amazing opportunities for learning. We want the face and voice of education in Michigan to be a mural of shared experiences and positive examples of connected learning.

A1: Have deadlines, give assessments based on learning that account for their grades. #miched

A1: Students have behavior expectations. Follow a PBIS discipline program that holds them accountable for actions #miched
eileen_depka May 3 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1Clear up-front expectations with ongoing support as needed help accountability. Consistency of expectations is an asset. #MichEd

So if a students work is late? penalty? #miched

heathergauck May 3 @ 8:20 PM EDT

#miched A2 accountability needs to be on individual S growth. So much time wasted right now on tests not appropriate for my Special ed Ss
TrevorMuir May 3 @ 8:20 PM EDT

To me it's all about growth. Growth in reading skills, math, even physical fitness. Is the school creating positive change?#michED
ErinMastin May 3 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2: The obvious answer is Ss growth, I would go as far as saying providing Ss with rich experiences &supporting Ts in PD as well. #miched
blocht574 May 3 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Interesting point Chis: Should post HS efforts be measured? Should co-horts be followed for 4-6 yrs after HS? #miched

#miched Have been doing lots of reading up on formative learning activities... need more of these and maybe 2-3 summative assessments (1 hr)
conrad_chris May 3 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: When it was our only focus, I liked NCA process. Set goals, collect local data, adjust, report, repeat. Truly growth mindset. #miched
blocht574 May 3 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: Assessment is worthless if feedback is delayed ... #MSTEP could give great feedback but comes next fall :( #miched
ErinMastin May 3 @ 8:31 PM EDT

That is exactly what happens. Testing should only be done when it can be used to improve the education of the Ss. #miched

Q4: How can the state encourage districts to collaborate to build success for all? #michED
conrad_chris May 3 @ 8:37 PM EDT
