However, if you analyze the assessment w/ the students, it will/can impact your teaching, clears up misconceptions, helps the teacher focus on language it helps the student understand the question(s) and how better to prepare -- WIN/WIN @pammoran @NFarrell407 @coffmancathy63

sciencedaily.com/releases/20… So this begs the question of where and when does bias come into play and how do we make sure it doesn't impact our instruction? @coffmancathy63 @NFarrell407 @pammoran @dintersmith

“I don’t want them sitting quietly,” he said. “If I can’t hear them talking, I don’t know what they are thinking - I have to wait until the test to know if they got it. If they’re talking, then I get to know that they are getting it or they are not getting it.”

More of this! With the US aging infrastructure (bridges, roads, buildings) and our ever-increasing shift to technology -- not only do we need more engineers, more importantly we need more skilled tradespeople. Shortages are here and getting worse.

A newer term is lawnmower parents who go to great lengths to prevent their child from having to face adversity, struggle, or fail. As educators we need to make sure our students have a safe and encouraging environment to engage in productive struggle. edsurge.com/news/2019-10-28-…

So much math in every sport - from data analytics advancedfootballanalytics.co… to Bill James/Billy Beane (Money Ball) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moneyb… to the mechanics, to the physics, the conditioning even taking advantage of the other teams tendencies. Real life Math!! @coffmancathy63

We should all be doing this! So cool! Math&science&rowing!! @darahbonham @AHS_MESA @jaypthomas @UVARowing

This is why more schools (University of Chicago is one) are dropping mandatory tests scores from the college admissions process. At the end of the day, a four year record is more representative of a student than any single metric or test that can be gamed.

student learning that happens outside the classroom is inherently interdisciplinary and engages students at a higher and deeper level around content. @KateKogge

A vibrant and thriving community requires an abundance of different and unique skills sets and understandings, so why do we continue to have such a singularity of thought about success and abilities when it comes to educating our students.
