✳️ The primary purpose of classroom #assessment is to inform our #instruction , not to determine a grade. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter

🏆 The excellence of our teaching is not visible in the student who came in with proficiency. It's evident in those who needed support. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter

📈 Rigor isn't about how hard we grade or how many #students earn As. It's about setting high standards. All students can excel in a rigorous environment. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter

⏰ Averaging grades over time is akin to saying 'I don't care if my teaching had any impact on student learning.' #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter

These are the #rubrics I’m developing w schools now. We center on what #students CAN do, what’s next, & actionable steps (w links to resources) to grow. Symbols could be added, but most of the time aren’t needed. We need measures to support self-efficacy. #sblchat #ATAssessment

📊 Poor grading practices shut doors for #students , and it disproportionately harms students who don't play the game of #school well, regardless of how well they #learn . #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #atassessment

💡 Students won't take significant intellectual risks if they feel threatened by grades. Let's encourage growth through conversations and feedback instead. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter

🌍 Promoting a culture of mastery implies that everyone in the school acknowledges every student, without exception, as worthy and deserving of their best efforts. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter

🗣️ Conferencing with a #student to reflect on progress and co-construct #feedback and next steps is some of the finest assessment we can engage in. And it IS instruction, not time away from instruction. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Educators #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment

🔭 A perspective of assessment as a planning instrument, rather than a finale, demands that we go in-depth with our assessments and use what we learn from them to shape our strategy for what's upcoming. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment

📝 Grades can serve a function, but grading practices also carry the potential to cause harm. Never grade without feedback, motivation, and specific guidance and support. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter

🎓 We ought to make evaluation a process we do WITH students, not TO them. They should be competent in assessing their own learning by graduation. The sooner the better. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter

2022 PISA results are here.

What do you notice? What do you wonder?

Let’s talk about it…

Thank you to #CCSD , #ATAssessment , and our amazing team of teachers for the great conference! Go Mustangs!

Collecting observational and conversational assessment information is an important part of decision making. Here is a template to support this work. I hope it is helpful. #triangulation #ATAssessment solutiontree.com/ca/authors/kat…

📈 Even the best standards-based scales can't save us from a culture of competition. Reform in classroom assessment comes before grading reform. 🌟 #LeadInclusion #EDchat #EDtech #SpedChat #SBLchat #ATAssessment #TG2chat #TeacherTwitter

🌈 Create an ethos of growth in schools by removing discussion of grades and GPAs from our daily teaching. 🚀 #LeadInclusion #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter

🧐 Are we manipulating #behavior with points and grades, or are we motivating with authentic #learning that builds on #students ' strengths and interests? #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #GlobalEd #SBLchat #TG2Chat #AtAssessment #TeacherTwitter

📊 Percentage #grades FEEL objective because they involve math. But a percentage doesn't communicate learning well and is no more objective than a teacher's judgment. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #ATAssessment #TeacherTwitter
