One of the most impactful educational injustices teachers practice with good, if misguided, intentions is to tell a student their sub-par, even shoddy, work is good (and grade it accordingly) because "at least she tried" or because "it's good work for HIM." #edchat

TEACHERS: I believe every classroom teacher should have this Venn Diagram easily accessible. It is very informative (and, I suspect, accurate, from someone who is in 2 of the 3 categories).

Tell me what you think.

Great work! (The N&W Protocol provides for some very deep thinking - despite how simple it is to use.)

Biology PLC took a deep dive into their Virus CER today using the "Notice and Wonder" protocol for assessments - great discussion, tremendous trust in one another, and actionable steps moving forward! đź‘Ź @CHS_Warriors @CherokeeSchools @CCSD_PD @authenticplcs #CCSDILS

In the mid-90s, Ted Sizer once told me something that has informed, directly or indirectly, all I do today: " If you want your students & your teachers to flourish, do everything possible to set up an environment most conducive for that to happen, and then get out of their way."

Facilitating Teacher Teams/PLCs: "The simple principle of believing in Ts... works amazingly well. People in all professions generally achieve not to the highest level of expectation placed on them, but to the highest level of belief by leaders that they can" @authenticplcs

From Facilitating Ts Teams/PLCs w/@authenticplcs: " Often, the members of... a team have plunged into the work and begun to set agendas and norms, examine data common and look at teacher work right away without taking time to establish themselves as a strong team"

"When we think of student work as evidence of learning, rather than as the product of student compliance to our assignment, it moves our thinking toward what and how *we* did and away from what *they* did." (from an article I wrote; read more tinyurl.com/lookingattherigh…) #edchat

Whether u are 100% Virtual or full-bore f2f, Ts need the support of each other more than ever. This support is a byproduct of High-Functioning PLCs; ineffective PLCs are just "one more thing" thrust upon Ts. Let me transform ur #PLC s into the former. dvenables@authenticPLCs.com

By request, I am putting together a one-day workshop for faculties to address each of these #5truths and design actionable steps to implement in their schools. Email dvenables@authenticplcs.com if you'd like me to visit your school. #edchat

This is a powerful article, yet probably a bit tough to “accept” for some. These “inconvenient truths” about assessments should be discussed by all of us.
