It's striking how many people fail to understand that quantified evaluations, such as standardized tests and rubrics, are no more objective than narratives & other qualitative appraisals. They just use numbers to conceal the subjective judgments that underpin them.

"Believing that the points we record in our gradebooks are objective, we then further believe that the sum of these points convey truth—truth about what our students have learned. But this, too, is a myth."

This isn't sustainable.
Teachers need to be able to do their best work w/ kids when we can give the attention they need & deserve.
@Alberta_UCP WMA funding model does nothing to address the ⬆️ enrollment, growth, & ⬆️ complexity of student needs.
This govt MUST do better.

Pssst.
We’re all behind on our grading.
And it’s okay.
27 years. Never not been behind.
No one cared but me, so I quit caring.
Well, mostly.

Being a high functioning depressed person is so exhausting because I never really know if I’m actually okay or if I’m just doing things…

Have you noticed that the "teachable" or "AHA" moments in class often have little to do with the lesson plan, but almost everything to do with relationships. Relationships before rigor.

“Why did Jane get 95% and I only got 90?” It would never fly for a teacher to simply say that Jane’s project was better.
Specific, timely, constructive feedback is good not only for students, but for educators as well. ESPECIALLY if the one giving the feedback IS an educator!

(3) No learning is neatly quantifiable. Not all learning will be visible to teachers/institutions. Student work can't be columns in a spreadsheet. Policing behavior, tracking attention, and algorithmic surveillance are not teaching.

I’m stunned by @Pontifex apology. I know many delegates who came here and other survivors who long prayed for an apology are feeling a sense of Justice from this action.

"But the more data you have in your gradebook, the more fair you are to the student and the more precise the final assessment will be," I might have thought at the time.
"If every cell in my gradebook has a number, that’s proof of my professional competency."
Rubbish.

Something I've learned about collaborative team meetings is that establishing norms for teams that are already high-functioning & collaborative is still a crucial step to success! #collaborativeresponse @Jigsaw_Learning #getca2022 #alwayslearning

Lots of food for thought from @Jigsaw_Learning 's Kurtis Hewson during his Collaborative Response session @getca1 "Breakout of those predetermined adult groupings... to maximize a diversity of thought." #teacherlife #alwayslearning #getca2022
