In reply to @Chad_Shaner, @puhsd

MathButler Mar 6 @ 10:34 PM EST

Turned out alright: A- Studied many hours all week, including all nighter right before. More stress than actual challenge. #IEedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:34 PM EST

Q1 coming up #IEedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:35 PM EST

judykaylane Mar 6 @ 10:35 PM EST

A0: Judy Lane English T @PUHSD I wrote very well but did not know then what I know now about test taking. Most tests were hard. #IEedchat

In reply to @puhsd

mark_synnott Mar 6 @ 10:35 PM EST

A1: I prefer written response prompts to be the most useful. They require more thought than multiple choice Qs. #IEedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:36 PM EST

Here are the rest of the questions just in case #IEedchat

MathButler Mar 6 @ 10:36 PM EST

I feel silly for asking - is that quantum mechanics? Did u do engineering? I feel like I should know this about you. #IEedchat

In reply to @mathkaveli

Chrisjlara24 Mar 6 @ 10:37 PM EST

A1: I like written ones and ones short and to the point. I also try to give assessments with lots of visuals #IEedchat

Chad_Shaner Mar 6 @ 10:37 PM EST

A1: My fav assessments are those that produce a product in the end. So much more satisfying, impactful, and deeper connections #IEedchat

DeatraLee_Edu Mar 6 @ 10:37 PM EST

A1: I prefer project based assessments. #ieedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:35 PM EST

Q1:Tell us about the types of assessments you give in your classes and which do you personably prefer?#IEedchat

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:37 PM EST

A1:For some reason I always have some Multiple Choice, but I started to add more essay as a 2nd part. I want to see their thinking #IEedchat

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:37 PM EST

a1 I give lots of formative assessments, my favorite is that which the Ss don't even know that they are informative #ieedchat

DeatraLee_Edu Mar 6 @ 10:37 PM EST

I agree, I think it also takes more critical thinking. #ieedchat

In reply to @Chad_Shaner

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:37 PM EST

Thanks for asking because I also wanted to know #IEedchat

In reply to @MathButler, @mathkaveli

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:37 PM EST

Yes QM=Quantum Mechanics and I was physics and applied math majors #ieedchat

In reply to @MathButler

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:38 PM EST

That moment you realize others may not be privy to the continuous stream of babbling that goes on in my head #ieedchat

In reply to @rguztec, @MathButler

AshleyMSJC5 Mar 6 @ 10:38 PM EST

A1:When I'm feeling busy & overworked, I love online assessments that are auto-graded. But essays with great prompts are best. #IEedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:39 PM EST

Q1B:Do you feel you're doing an adequate job preparing your students? What kind of activities or review do you do for them? #IEedchat

MathButler Mar 6 @ 10:39 PM EST

In reply to @mathkaveli

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:39 PM EST

Product production is powerful learning #ieedchat

In reply to @Chad_Shaner

judykaylane Mar 6 @ 10:39 PM EST

A1: As an English T, written is best need to assess more than comp. Lately I have been using collaborative writing and blogging #IEedchat

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:39 PM EST

I used a mix of that, because time is money #IEedchat

In reply to @AshleyMSJC5

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:39 PM EST

uhm Jed, you must be looking in a mirror my friend, that's how I feel every time we talk #ieedchat

A1b: I feel my Ss were most engaged with a game based review. They loved trashketball. #ieedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:39 PM EST

Q1B:Do you feel you're doing an adequate job preparing your students? What kind of activities or review do you do for them? #IEedchat

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:40 PM EST

a1b not often enough, I feel like I'm not giving them enough reps, need more opportunities and spiral review #ieedchat

judykaylane Mar 6 @ 10:40 PM EST

A1: I like using online tests that have immediate feedback for me and my students too #IEedchat

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:41 PM EST

Writing is such a powerful assessment #ieedchat

In reply to @judykaylane

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:41 PM EST

A1B:I feel I do an adequate job, but I can do more. I always do review Q's on a Google Slide, they fill in the A's one Q at a time #IEedchat

MathButler Mar 6 @ 10:41 PM EST

A1: 1st...formative gave me & my Ss better feedback: https://t.co/2EN2Mp9mgB 2nd: cumulative test score: https://t.co/kB3A7fl0L7 #IEedchat

Chrisjlara24 Mar 6 @ 10:41 PM EST

A1b: I adapt as best as I can to their needs. I like reviewing using kahoot. SS love it as well #IEedchat

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:42 PM EST

Procedural format is helpful #ieedchat

In reply to @rguztec

judykaylane Mar 6 @ 10:42 PM EST

but the most time consuming--love my Google Classroom tho--that helps and w/feedback #IEedchat

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:41 PM EST

Writing is such a powerful assessment #ieedchat
In reply to @judykaylane

Chad_Shaner Mar 6 @ 10:42 PM EST

A1b: when I was teaching I always tried to do some application project before a test #IEedchat

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:42 PM EST

Yeah, the new version of Kahoot is really upping the ante #ieedchat

In reply to @Chrisjlara24

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:42 PM EST

Absolutely, tools make the learning more impactful #ieedchat

💡This week, #EduGladiators series "4Cs of Success" continues with CRITICAL THINKING! #resiliencechat #BetterTogetherCA #EdPiper #IEedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:43 PM EST

Q2:Do you use any specific strategies that research has shown to help Ss with assessment preparation? #IEedchat

AshleyMSJC5 Mar 6 @ 10:43 PM EST

A1b: I never feel like I'm doing a good enough job preparing Ss even if I am. #IEedchat

DeatraLee_Edu Mar 6 @ 10:44 PM EST

it's true! It feels like there is always more that needs to be done. #ieedchat

In reply to @AshleyMSJC5

MathButler Mar 6 @ 10:44 PM EST

A1b: ...honestly still gotta go back to my answer for A1. Utilize formative assessments always, and apply cumulative scoring. #IEedchat

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:44 PM EST

It's because you know you can always do better, good sign of an excellent Teacher #IEedchat

In reply to @AshleyMSJC5

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:44 PM EST

a2 I force them to listen, copy everything I write down, and answer DOK 1 Qs like a parrot. If time I let them PS and choose C #ieedchat

mark_synnott Mar 6 @ 10:44 PM EST

A2: I teach students how to read each type of question thoroughly to understand what it's asking before answering the question. #IEedchat

Chrisjlara24 Mar 6 @ 10:45 PM EST

A2: I try to review using plenty of visuals so my SS can see a picture with the topics #IEedchat

judykaylane Mar 6 @ 10:45 PM EST

A1b: agree trying to prepare Ss but always feels an uphill battle, keep growing, trying #IEedchat

MathButler Mar 6 @ 10:45 PM EST

Vertical non-permanent surfaces, aka .... whiteboards. More about having Ss constantly refreshing. https://t.co/P317vYEzmd #IEedchat

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:45 PM EST

A2: I try to use SDAIE strategies for vocab in Sci since it's like learning a language for Ss. I put my vocab word in red font #IEedchat

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:46 PM EST

I would thrive in your class #IEedchat

In reply to @Chrisjlara24

DeatraLee_Edu Mar 6 @ 10:46 PM EST

A2: similar to @mark_synnott, I would teach Ss QAR, to help them determine what they will need in order to answer the questions. #ieedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:43 PM EST

Q2:Do you use any specific strategies that research has shown to help Ss with assessment preparation? #IEedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:47 PM EST

Q2B:Why do you feel this strategy is so important for your Ss to know or utilize? #IEedchat

Chad_Shaner Mar 6 @ 10:47 PM EST

A2: Setting up study groups, have Ss help each other, quiz each other, etc #IEedchat

AshleyMSJC5 Mar 6 @ 10:47 PM EST

A2:In History, I try to put the big picture together as a great story. Also give tests that reflect what I taught & vice versa. #IEedchat

DeatraLee_Edu Mar 6 @ 10:48 PM EST

A2b: Ss need to understand what is being asked and determine what tools to use to get started. #ieedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:47 PM EST

Q2B:Why do you feel this strategy is so important for your Ss to know or utilize? #IEedchat

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:48 PM EST

a2b Response a2 is the exact opposite of what i do, i need Ss to make their own connections, they need uncovering not coverage #ieedchat

MathButler Mar 6 @ 10:48 PM EST

Using whiteboards, especially in math, gives this sense value for the process, and revisiting the process. Journey > destination. #IEedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:47 PM EST

Q2B:Why do you feel this strategy is so important for your Ss to know or utilize? #IEedchat

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:48 PM EST

A2B:I like to have visual cue's for them,I think of myself as a Marketer and I try to have them remember the most important term #IEedchat

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:49 PM EST

I am on a new learning experience to provide Ss opportunity to celebrate the work, not the answer, new path same idea #ieedchat

In reply to @MathButler

MathButler Mar 6 @ 10:49 PM EST

Forgot to add A2b: #IEedchat #rookiemistake

Chrisjlara24 Mar 6 @ 10:49 PM EST

A2b: I have ELs and Ss with IEPs and visuals help them a lot. I also have a lot of visual learners that benefit from it #IEedchat

judykaylane Mar 6 @ 10:49 PM EST

A2: practice taking tests: interim SBAC tests with my 11th graders. wish others would do the same before they got to grade 11 #IEedchat

EduGladiators Mar 6 @ 10:50 PM EST

MathButler Mar 6 @ 10:50 PM EST

I remember a S asking me to box the answer. I drew a box around the whole board. S didn't like that, at first. #IEedchat

In reply to @mathkaveli

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:50 PM EST

Were trying to help wit our Science Ss @CMIPerris so that their ready way before #IEedchat

In reply to @judykaylane, @CMIPerris

MathButler Mar 6 @ 10:51 PM EST

So glad to see you and other English Ts @HeritageHSPats putting this into practice. #IEedchat

In reply to @judykaylane, @HeritageHSPats

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:51 PM EST

Love that! Oh we should do "Great T Moments" as topic, this is hilarious #ieedchat

In reply to @MathButler

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:51 PM EST

Q3:Are there any rituals that you would suggest Ss partake in to better prepare for assessments?#IEedchat

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:52 PM EST

a3 Ss should study over longer periods of time w/smaller amount of concepts, get big w/Reps, not a power work out #ieedchat

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:52 PM EST

A3:I remember hearing about hydration and better Oxygen circulation, but I tell them to start studying a week before the test #IEedchat

AshleyMSJC5 Mar 6 @ 10:53 PM EST

A3: They should study and listen carefully to teachers' hints. So many students don't study enough these days. #IEedchat

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:53 PM EST

I had success with OChem in college, 1hr every day made the difference. #IEedchat

In reply to @mathkaveli

DeatraLee_Edu Mar 6 @ 10:53 PM EST

A3: good sleep, good meal, deep breaths, & ask questions. #ieedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:51 PM EST

Q3:Are there any rituals that you would suggest Ss partake in to better prepare for assessments?#IEedchat

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:53 PM EST

Or Golder words as well right #IEedchat

In reply to @AshleyMSJC5

MathButler Mar 6 @ 10:53 PM EST

A3: Eat right. Sleep right. The mind needs a healthy body. #IEedchat

judykaylane Mar 6 @ 10:53 PM EST

A3: practice the procedures for biggies--eat breakfast, put away phones, respect others, follow directions, remember strategies #IEedchat

Chrisjlara24 Mar 6 @ 10:54 PM EST

A3: I just tell them to review everything. I don't have many tricks up my sleeve since I always crammed #IEedchat

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:54 PM EST

imagine if we could equip Ss before they went to college w/this skill...wow #ieedchat

In reply to @rguztec

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:54 PM EST

Game changer for sure #IEedchat

In reply to @mathkaveli

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:55 PM EST

LOL, this sounds like the beginnings of "Idiots Guide to Test Taking" but we still need to cover it again and again #ieedchat

In reply to @judykaylane

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:55 PM EST

Q3B:What kind of things do you do to prepare students for SBAC assessments? #IEedchat

mark_synnott Mar 6 @ 10:55 PM EST

A2b: Ss answer Qs without fully understanding what's being asked. Ss answers are a shot in the dark. Teach them to read with care. #IEedchat

MathButler Mar 6 @ 10:55 PM EST

ALSO: read Make It Stick. https://t.co/uOp1lw7uZY review here: https://t.co/f9FUNUZWCX Big ideas: vary practice, write ur own ?s #IEedchat

mathkaveli Mar 6 @ 10:55 PM EST

Right...I could only imagine how much more successful Ss would be at college, including myself way back in the day #ieedchat

In reply to @rguztec

mark_synnott Mar 6 @ 10:55 PM EST

A3: Just the basics: get sleep, eat breakfast, think and care about your responses. You get zero points for finishing first. #IEedchat

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:56 PM EST

A3B: @mark_synnott mentioned it earlier,that they need to read the Q slowly in order to answer properly. Most Ss just skim #IEedchat

In reply to @mark_synnott

mark_synnott Mar 6 @ 10:57 PM EST

A3b: I tell Ss not to start a new page on the SBAC if time doesn't allow. Answers might not save. Use the extra testing time. #IEedchat

Chrisjlara24 Mar 6 @ 10:57 PM EST

A3b: I tell them to make sure the read the question and understand what it's asking then #IEedchat

rguztec Mar 6 @ 10:57 PM EST

A3B: I also add things like Art into my warm ups and have Ss tell me the meaning of the work. I use it to increase Critical T #IEedchat

judykaylane Mar 6 @ 10:58 PM EST

A3b: CAASPP test includes writing for both ELA and Math. Ts--talk about /write in all content areas! #IEedchat

ieedchat - Moderator Mar 6 @ 10:59 PM EST

Any final thoughts on Assessments? #IEedchat

AshleyMSJC5 Mar 6 @ 10:59 PM EST

FT:I don't like over-weighting my course with traditional assessments. The more performance tasks and authentic tools the better. #IEedchat
