  • 21stprincipal Mar 7 @ 8:16 PM EST
    All data that tells where a student is helps personalize learning...but must give up idea of fitting the student to standard. #edsurgechat
  • TiffannyLindsey Mar 7 @ 8:17 PM EST
    A2: Benchmark or Unit tests where I look specifically at TEKs/ standards. Working 1-on-1 also helps stream line results. #EdSurgeChat

    #EdSurgeChat A3: I look at behavior during peer interactions, then work product. Gives me an idea if SS don't understand, or acting that way
  • jondercin Mar 7 @ 8:26 PM EST
    We certainly are but there has to be measurable pieces of information that teachers can associate w/ students #edsurgechat
    In reply to @21stprincipal
  • jondercin Mar 7 @ 8:26 PM EST
    Which is precisely why the teacher is the most important component to personalization (IMO) #edsurgechat
    In reply to @21stprincipal
  • 21stprincipal Mar 7 @ 8:27 PM EST
    Why? Why does everything have to be 'measurable'? #edsurgechat
    In reply to @jondercin
  • FlapHQ Mar 7 @ 8:28 PM EST
    A3: Should consider trends in data over time. Numbers can fluctuate; trend is more important in S's progress #EdSurgeChat
  • jondercin Mar 7 @ 8:28 PM EST
    certainly not everything! Which is why we want to find the most important pieces & leave the rest to the teacher #edsurgechat
    In reply to @21stprincipal

    Why is it important to use "multiple measures" at all? Not all that is worthwhile in education is measurable. #edsurgechat

      Q4: How do you track or measure the effects of a personalized learning approach? #EdSurgeChat
  • adaptivechat Mar 7 @ 8:43 PM EST
    Great Q! Who wants to be evaluated w/ just one measurement? Why would that b fair to Ss? #edsurgechat
    • EdSurge Mar 7 @ 8:41 PM EST
      Q5: Why is it important to use multiple measures to see the whole student? #EdSurgeChat
  • FlapHQ Mar 7 @ 8:43 PM EST
    Q5: Only one measure doesn't tell you a student's entire story. With multiple measures, you can see how certain metrics relate. #edsurgechat

    #EdSurgeChat Ts who keep notes are better able to keep track of individual Ss & differentiate instruction for some or all.
