Thanks… but I didn’t join X, I joined Twitter. It was an amazing place to build conversation around being a better teacher. It isn’t that anymore. I joined Twitter 15 years ago. #MyTwitterAnniversary Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary

A challenge I see in grading reform is moving past an *earning* mindset of "redoing worksheets or assignments to get more points and improve the grade." Instead, adopt a *learning" mindset: "demonstrating higher levels of learning to improve my grade". #sblchat Learning>Earning

#mncose23 is tomorrow!

Traditional assessment methods limit creativity and exploration. It's time to embrace assessment methods that foster innovation, curiosity, and independence. Here's a simple acronym for more authentic assessment: G-Goal R- Role A-Audience S-Situation P-Product S-Standards

Hey Josh! Sure hope people dive deeply here. 'Three quick thoughts to add: First, for me and many others, test revisions is one of several re-learning activities in which students engage before doing the re-assessment, but they are insufficient for being a valid re-assessment themselves. Correcting mistakes here and there (or in a lot of places) is a way to re-learn; it's is not appropriate for evaluative final assessment. Second, as I know you know, but just want to make sure educators remember, grades aren't earned. This advances a transactional function, which in turn, corrupts their communication function, their capacity to report student learning accurately. And finally, only recording a mark indicating half-level proficiency when in these revisions they demonstrate full-proficiency, is deeply unprofessional and unethical. It is knowingly falsifying the learning report, 'a form of lying to students, parents, and ourselves. It serves no purpose other than to impugn integrity and create justified resentment.
