I am an Instructional Designer at Matoaca Middle school. I love working with Ts & Ss as we learn about mathematics. Hiking, walking, cycling in spare time.
Live chatting with a virologist from UVA about growing cells, bats, coronavirus, and life as a scientist...best 6th-grade science class ever!!! Thanks,@SRosenbergSci, her class, and Dr. Engel! Good day to be a @mmswarrior. #oneCCPS#mmswarriors
Ts collab on Curve of Best Fit lesson. Used peer obs, virtual & face to face planning. Opening slide, I notice, I wonder. Ss feedback...POSITIVE. Ts stronger together! #CCPSTnL#ManchesterMiddleSchool#CCPS_Math@SarahFraher @MelSTrapani
Q2: Stiggins talks about Assessment FOR Learning. Ss collab with Ts to determine the next steps in their learning based on their interpretation of their results. Can we do this in the classroom? #leadccps
Research has shown that it is impossible for once a year big stakes tests to give the instructional info we need to improve schools or student learning.#leadccps
A4: Motivation increases if Ss know that the assessment is an indicator of where they are and not a final sentence. They need to have hope that they can still reach the target. #leadccps
Stop expecting one score or grade to be an indicator of learning. This will be a change in thinking for all: Ss, Parents, teacher, community. #leadccps
A3. Private schools often offer community events like plays, concerts, classes, seminars. Could our schools open the doors like that based on community needs? #leadccps
A2. After modeling a lesson, unsuccessfully, the classroom T said she was relived that it was difficult for me as well. I was embarrassed but we both agreed we wouldn't give up. We are a team now. #leadccps
