A1: purpose - advances or enhances the learning experience. #KatyISDChat

NicoleBenke Jun 8 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Right, we can't punish their "irresponsibility" with a poor grade, because grades should reflect skills not behaviors. #KatyISDChat

A5: responsibility? Yes. As part of a grade? No. #KatyISDChat

A5 It's our job to welcome the whole student. We teach life skills, behavior, responsibility, education, & more. #KatyISDchat

A5. We should be teaching responsibility as well as other ungraded, unEOCd, untested life aspects. Demonstrate through example!#KatyISDChat

A7 PII ... grade should reflect mastery of content. NOT turning it in on time or trying again when you weren't quite there yet #katyisdchat
