Sometimes there are obvious things in education, but it always helps when someone new comes along and quantifies the instructional practice. https://t.co/yLdCXg7BAB @NFarrell407 @kdudley03 @physixdude @mhsbiotchr @ESA_warriors @MrGloverACPS @mpcraddock

@pammoran @NFarrell407 @coffmancathy63 I do wonder about the methodology of the study, in almost every instance-reviewing the assessment data comes after a unit + I have moved on to the next topic. A good teacher would make note and adjust instruction for the following year -- the study would not have captured that?

[AHS_MESA @AHS_MESA]

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

Question: What activity is done by most teachers in the United States, but has almost no evidence of effectiveness in raising student test scores?

Answer: Analyzing student assessment data.”

@kdudley03 I've got to think this is an activity for WES. @MunseyClass

Are preschoolers' math abilities underestimated? uh -- yes -- next question https://t.co/ltEejxoOGG

While this seems obvious -- it is nice to see it quantified https://t.co/8h7wZ0WsNc

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. https://t.co/7PTtjZgyHU

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

@pammoran @dintersmith @tmanglicmot Think about rationalizing the denominator -- we still teach this skill because when we used slide rules for calculations it was helpful. Agree with the frustration around continuing to drill algorithms and process skills versus developing deeper critical thinking. @tvanderark
