Janet Sweat. I loved small classes and teachers who treated me as an equal and encouraged independent thinking. #FLedChat

Mr_EFisher Oct 26 @ 8:03 PM EDT

I think the enjoyment I got from having those relationships with my teachers helped move me towards the field myself actually #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:04 PM EDT

I'm Kimberly, Media Specialist from Daytona Beach. I loved just about everything about school when I was younger. Still do! #FLedChat

DennisDill Oct 26 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Hey #FLedChat ... I loathed school ... most days I would rather get punched in the ___ than go to school.

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:04 PM EDT

I loved the environment I was in; for me I learned, A LOT...because it was available. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:04 PM EDT

@dene_gainey Hey, Dene! #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:04 PM EDT

@Mr_EFisher Hi, Eric! That's awesome! #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:05 PM EDT

@dene_gainey That's wonderful! There is nothing like a caring teacher! #FLedChat

Every Student Succeeds Act ... how sad is it we have to have an act so kids can succeed? I thought that was why I do what I do #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@DennisDill Hi, Dennis! This makes me realize how lucky I was! #FLedChat

I'm Tammy from North Florida. I had a Teacher that let me move at my own pace. I wasn't stuck by her expectations. #FLedchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@I_teach_Pandas Hi there, Jessica! I'm picking up on a theme here! #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@YodaPond @kmhmartin Welcome man! #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@TG_Neil Hi, Tammy! That's great! I'm guessing you excelled? #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@TG_Neil Hey Tammy! #FLedChat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@DennisDill Probably why you are a great teacher now :). #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@kmhmartin It was math class. Led me to be a Math teacher for most of my career. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Mic drop before the first question! #FLedChat https://t.co/HrJ6rl6dUT

@dene_gainey Hey, Dene! #FLedChat

DennisDill Oct 26 @ 8:08 PM EDT

What troubles me from my schooling days ... How can I get "not working to potential" on every report card and no one ask why? #FLedChat

YodaPond Oct 26 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@dene_gainey @kmhmartin TY Dene; I try to make it on for #ruraledchat #HcpsTeach and #FLEDCHAT

@YodaPond @kmhmartin Well that's outstanding!! #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Question 1 in a second. I took the quotes from one website (sound bites really). I'll tweet out some resouces I found at the end. #FLedChat

DennisDill Oct 26 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@Mr_EFisher that and I am a non-Ed major so no one ever constructed that box for me to get stuck in. #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@DennisDill No one simply asked you what was going on? #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Here is Q1! #FLedChat https://t.co/jcICyBTlsf

DennisDill Oct 26 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@mrterborg that is a good question ... was I not worth the effort ... how many poor kids like me fall through the cracks #fledchat

DennisDill Oct 26 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@Mr_EFisher year 15 ... still haven't read Harry Wong or figured out what is meant by classroom management #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:13 PM EDT

I almost forgot! We will be doing the Q1/A1 format. Please remember #FLedChat with your tweets! Thanks!

YodaPond Oct 26 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Quick question: anyone here attending #EDCAMPNABSE and/or #EdCampHCPS? I am registered and it will be my first EdCamp! #fledchat #HcpsTeach

Mr_EFisher Oct 26 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: I'm gonna be completely honest and admit I know nothing about ESSA 😳 #FLedChat https://t.co/dDczajgxFU

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@FLRichter Hey, Sean! Glad there is another VCS person here! #FLedChat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: I am new to my district this year, and haven't heard anything yet. #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: It has not been widely discussed in Orange County although we have read information about it. #FLedChat https://t.co/nzd7N0jbYU

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Here is Q1! #FLedChat https://t.co/jcICyBTlsf

DennisDill Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@kmhmartin nope ... plenty of referrals ... classroom ejections ... detentions ... no one asking "Dude, what's up?? #fledchat

I_teach_Pandas Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1: about the same which is not much, I googled it and it seemed just to be building on NCLB..... #FLedChat https://t.co/CWngi2BVcM

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@docvs1 And that is what is concerning me. This all rolls out next year. Will FL be ready? #FLedChat

DavidJLockett Oct 26 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A1: Still searching for more info. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@DennisDill And if those things happen to a kid now, we immediately think to ask, "What's up?" #FLedChat

jsweatscience Oct 26 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1: title 4 will support STEM, lots of district control. State has not rolled out yet because nation has not fully rolled out #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@kmhmartin @docvs1 Great question. And what does this really mean for FL? #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A1. So, it sounds like we are all in the same boat. I did find out that the state asked for input back in the summer. That's it. #FLedChat

DennisDill Oct 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Regardless of what we call it ... every act is more about accountability than student success #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@I_teach_Pandas My reaction during the first cohort meeting! #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@FLRichter @educationweek @PoliticsK12 That was going to be one of the resources! Thanks for sharing this, Sean! #FLedChat

FLRichter Oct 26 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A1 #FLedChat https://t.co/Np5pnOnlXZ

shirky17 Oct 26 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@DennisDill #FLedChat "succeeds" can be hard to define... and differentiate.---- around here pretty much 99% graduate

FLRichter Oct 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A1 #FLedChat https://t.co/hMKkliB4h6

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@jsweatscience But shouldn't we have begun getting information? I'm just thinking it's going to be BOOM! Here we go! #FLedChat

YodaPond Oct 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A1: I am going to be completely honest: nada mucho. #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Moving forward with Q2! #FLedChat https://t.co/rI62y3myrk

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@shirky17 I agree. What does this word mean? I think it can be applied differently to different students or even schools #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@shirky17 @DennisDill Wow! That's a great graduation rate! #FLedChat

I_teach_Pandas Oct 26 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Just read the part about ESE, how can you say that only 1% of students will be alternate assessments!?! Demographics don't match! #FLedChat

docvs1 Oct 26 @ 8:22 PM EDT

I think even the feds are figuring out what it means--how it looks #fledchat https://t.co/aPaGDypmMH

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@jsweatscience But shouldn't we have begun getting information? I'm just thinking it's going to be BOOM! Here we go! #FLedChat

LynneOakvik Oct 26 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A1. I first heard about ESSA through my pro.library org AASL. ESSA Title 4 will support effective school libraries #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2. I'm hoping it won't mean more workbooks & test prep via computers. We have been doing that for years & I haven't seen it help. #FLedChat

jsweatscience Oct 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2. More $$ for certain schools. Better equipment. Maybe extra teacher pay. #FLedChat

ms_dennis45 Oct 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Hi! I'm Nakysha a MS Math Coach in Port St. Lucie, FL joining my first #fledchat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@ms_dennis45 Hey there and welcome! #FLedChat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@kmhmartin Or making them stay after school or longer in the summer :(. #FLedChat

Mr_EFisher Oct 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: Hopefully will even playing field for some districts and schools that are up against the odds financially to optimally help Ss #FLedChat

YodaPond Oct 26 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: I sincerely hope that funds are allocated in a meaningful way; if Ts are able to submit proposals for funds, the need is IDed #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@dene_gainey Great point! And will districts be required to pay for transportation or will families transport? #FLedChat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@ms_dennis45 Hi Nakysha! So glad to have you with us :). #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@kmhmartin I agree, and I just think that authenticity breeds more meaningful learning... #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@kmhmartin Exactly Kim and if this does occur, what is the limit? At what point will it become too much? #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@ms_dennis45 Hi! Glad you could join us! #FLedChat

I_teach_Pandas Oct 26 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2: It sounds like Socialism for educational funding..... #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@kmhmartin And does this method really approve things? #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@KristinCHarr I already teach at a plus one school (one extra hour each day). #FLedChat

FLRichter Oct 26 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2 Using data; districts diagnosis areas of need, and creates a treatment plan & ways to monitor progress to meet Ss needs #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@LynneOakvik Yay! We need that! #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@kmhmartin @KristinCHarr I see benefits in longer school days, but does that also increase down time and recess? Hmm... #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@docvs1 That's a valid concern. #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A2, Pt2: I wonder if this will increase $$ for T's to move schools or take on more responsiblity with regards to low performing #FLedChat

LynneOakvik Oct 26 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Here is the FLDOE link with timeline for ESSA in Florida https://t.co/ZIqsAs2IJV #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@dene_gainey @KristinCHarr Honestly, in some cases it does, in others it allows time for @Buncee! #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@kmhmartin @KristinCHarr @Buncee Buncee!!! Yess!! #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@LynneOakvik Thank you for sharing that! #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Here's number 3. #fledchat https://t.co/pOJK6MFhVz

docvs1 Oct 26 @ 8:30 PM EDT

have to run thanks for the chat #hcpsteach #fledchat

ms_dennis45 Oct 26 @ 8:30 PM EDT

My district is predominantly Title 1. So funds are depleted pretty quickly. Money may not trickle down to Ss #fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:30 PM EDT

I think we focus so much time on things students aren't good at, without identifying their strengths. #FLedChat https://t.co/DicXoQMVGg

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@kmhmartin @KristinCHarr I see benefits in longer school days, but does that also increase down time and recess? Hmm... #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3: I wonder if this will include Perf. Based Assmts. which means we can design assessment measures maybe? #FLedChat https://t.co/4IFAZZUf7e

Here's number 3. #fledchat https://t.co/pOJK6MFhVz

I'm up late planning and 'listening in' on #fledchat!!!

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@docvs1 Thanks for dropping in! Have a great evening! #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@KristinCHarr I think that is a solid point, and if we identified these strengths, we could transform things. #FLedChat

jsweatscience Oct 26 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3: no clue on this one. I think science will stay the same with test 5,8 and high school #FLedChat

ms_dennis45 Oct 26 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4 With math we need effective ways to close learning gaps #fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@docvs1 Thanks Laura! #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@dene_gainey There is some mention of that & portfolio-based assessments. I would like the "boots on the ground" to have input. #FLedChat

Buncee Oct 26 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@kmhmartin @dene_gainey @KristinCHarr Thanks for the Buncee Nod, Pal! #FLedChat

YodaPond Oct 26 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A3: I hesitate to equate "policy" with "foster[ing] deeper learning" because they just seem like oil and water... #fledchat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@kmhmartin Yes. Imagine if they actually involved us rather than relying on those without classroom expertise #FLedChat

Mr_EFisher Oct 26 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A3: the wording is so vague I'm not quite sure what to make of what's meant by flexibility. Hopefully this means more T input #FLedChat

FLRichter Oct 26 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A3 It will be more of the same unless stakeholders unify their voice/positions and redesign/adapt assessments to meet Ss needs #fledchat

FirstAtBat Oct 26 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Good evening #Fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3. It mentions that states may be able to design own assessments. I would like to see fewer tests & more alternative assessments. #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@ms_dennis45 Absolutely! #FLedChat

ms_dennis45 Oct 26 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Ok! so I need to find out about @Buncee #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat Hi, Terry! #FLedChat

FirstAtBat Oct 26 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Most definitely! The more I learn, the more I love @Buncee #Fledchat https://t.co/j82Qas2VUs

ms_dennis45 Oct 26 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Ok! so I need to find out about @Buncee #fledchat

LynneOakvik Oct 26 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@kmhmartin @dene_gainey FLDOE says there will be another window 4 public input - important that Ts respond #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:36 PM EDT

And a wide range of teacher input, not just a chosen few. #FLedChat https://t.co/AMc9JkRaxn

Mr_EFisher Oct 26 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A3: the wording is so vague I'm not quite sure what to make of what's meant by flexibility. Hopefully this means more T input #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@LynneOakvik @kmhmartin This is good information to know! #FLedChat

YodaPond Oct 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@kmhmartin #FLedChat Portfolio-based assessments are valuable @SeeSaw has given me confidence that my Ss value its authenticity

FLRichter Oct 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@kmhmartin Testing for testing doesn't work; Tests must be relevant & timely; then data must be understood to drive instruction #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@ms_dennis45 @Buncee Sign up for a teacher account and play! I have even been learning from the kids! #FLedChat

I_teach_Pandas Oct 26 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A3: The tests won't change, Pearson and the other companies who create the tests (FSA, FTCE, ACT, etc.) will always be in control. #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@YodaPond @kmhmartin @Seesaw I love Seesaw and @FreshGrade as an e-portfolio, and see merits in paper-based portfolios too #FLedChat

ms_dennis45 Oct 26 @ 8:38 PM EDT

It's difficult. We tried common assessments by Ts and district ones. Ss struggle either way. #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@FLRichter Which is part of the problem I have w/big state tests. We don't get the results in time to help us w/instruction. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@I_teach_Pandas But there is a part that says states may be able to create their own assessments. If so, I think Ts should do it. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@ms_dennis45 It's the same in my district. #FLedChat

FLRichter Oct 26 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A3 tech is constantly creating new, for profit programs to expedite teaching; Ts need to vet tech before relying on the results #fledchat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@Mr_EFisher @FreshGrade Also a gradebook and one-stop shop for parent communication. Love it!! #FLedChat

I_teach_Pandas Oct 26 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@kmhmartin #FLedChat States, meaning state government, who are influenced by the large companies to use their tests in return for support.

@Mr_EFisher I highly recommend @FreshGrade as I am now an ambassador too. Parent's love the window into the classroom. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A4. I have to second what @FirstAtBat said. Build relationships, mentor, & keep trying until you find what works. #fledchat

I_teach_Pandas Oct 26 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A4: more options for graduation (Vocational training, Work Credit, etc.) I think apprenticeships should count for credit #FLedChat

ms_dennis45 Oct 26 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Make pre-school mandatory.#fledchat

YodaPond Oct 26 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A4: Start with community and school culture; invest in educating the heart before the mind. Open hearts will lead to open minds #fledchat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@Mr_EFisher @FreshGrade Can print a yearlong record of anecdotal notes and such for conferences #FLedChat

FLRichter Oct 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@kmhmartin State test data is dated; Ts need time to create tests that reflect FSA, conduct test item analysis & look at results #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@I_teach_Pandas Agreed! #FLedChat

FirstAtBat Oct 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A4: Relationships can create motivated students. You find their interests and tie their learning to that. #Fledchat Differentiate

DavidJLockett Oct 26 @ 8:45 PM EDT

KristinCHarr - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:46 PM EDT

Mr_EFisher Oct 26 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A4: I think more vocationally focused ideas in HS could benefit some Ss who might benefit more from and enjoy learning a trade #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@Mr_EFisher I like that word, interesting! #FLedChat

I_teach_Pandas Oct 26 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@LynneOakvik @dene_gainey Do know when? Never saw the one from the summer until I Googled it this week. #FLedChat

FLRichter Oct 26 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A4 Districts need to help HS Ss hone their talents and explore further education--college & career equally #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@DavidJLockett Yes! #FLedChat https://t.co/327JfXxQrs

ms_dennis45 Oct 26 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@KristinCHarr #FLedChat Assessments can be useful with this to determine the track as is the case in other countries

Mr_EFisher Oct 26 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A4: I wish I could make all my Ss fall in love w/learning, but I can't and those who don't still need a skill to leave HS w/ #FLedChat

FLRichter Oct 26 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A4 Career Ed is more difficult to explore; https://t.co/KG3Hv0Qz11 provides Ss an option to learn trades & earn $ 4 future ed #fledchat

not every kid is going to go to college.... We can't have #Stem Careers without people to install the wires..... #FLedChat

A5 Our digital world is perfect for collecting a portfolio of rigorous learning. I love using @EasyblogDotOrg to capture learning #FLedChat

Mr_EFisher Oct 26 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A5: writing portfolios or longer term writing&research projects that require a wide variety of standards-based skills to complete #FLedChat

@FLRichter #FLEDCHAT Thanks for the links to information! I have tabs open for later perusal.

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5. I'm wondering if @seesaw (or something similar) would fit here. How much defending a T would have to do to prove it fits. #fledchat

FLRichter Oct 26 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@kmhmartin Student Conservation Association @the_sca only require a diploma & dr license; Ss get housing, training & earn $5k 4 ed #fledchat

Oh yes, and this is why we have to gather the kindling even in elementary years #FLedChat https://t.co/V5KAbhWJxz

@dene_gainey Exactly! Students start on an uneven playing field. By HS it is a struggle to light a fire

LynneOakvik Oct 26 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@kmhmartin @dene_gainey No date has been posted. Here's timeline info. #FLedChat https://t.co/rnqNhzQb68

A5: the higher order part probably won't apply to my kiddos, but the project based I like...... #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A5. Pt. 2 I would just hate for a portfolio to be a series of multiple choice tests all packaged up. #fledchat

ms_dennis45 Oct 26 @ 8:55 PM EDT

PD...PD...and more PD. Ts need to support to become fluent in this type of assessment #fledchat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:56 PM EDT

Definitely portfolios! Also Video captures of reasoning skills... #FLedChat https://t.co/yaEU1GAZeS

With only 10, that's right, 10 minutes remaining, here is #5! #fledchat https://t.co/lYf9XEUS2p

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@LynneOakvik @dene_gainey Thanks! #FLedChat

YodaPond Oct 26 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@I_teach_Pandas #FLEDCHAT I do see this reality set-in for Ss who are in my 9th or 10th grade ELA class as 12th-grader. It is not a negative

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@Mr_EFisher Kindling was our word of the day today! Ha! #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@Mr_EFisher Many thanks! #FLedChat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:57 PM EDT

Final question--and yes, I'm leaving #6 for another time! :) #fledchat https://t.co/ByuzFFGbCe

YodaPond Oct 26 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A5: I like that they are going for longevity so that, ideally, the depth and breadth of a Ss learning can be captured. #fledchat

kmhmartin Oct 26 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@dene_gainey We should start building them as soon as our kids start school--talk about seeing growth! #FLedChat

FLRichter Oct 26 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A5 Middle School - exploring possibilities; trial/error; learning skills not programs that are applicable/adaptable to other areas #fledchat

dene_gainey - Moderator Oct 26 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@kmhmartin Say that!! #FLedChat

A6: Takeaway...we need more clarification about ESSA, and the expectations, and timeline for implementation. #FLedChat
