While all types of assessment of student learning are important, the need for formative assessment right now is particularly critical. Another great article @PeopleforEd https://t.co/Ba4mGjp3wZ

I can't get the question that Dawn McMaster shared from a webinar she attended out of my mind from last night's #OnEdMentors, so I made this. This will be the guiding question for me as I continue to reflect and reevaluate the whats and whys of my teaching during #remotelearning

Re-establishing teacher-led learning is a step in the right direction, but we must move forward carefully when taking about "grading". Even with "flexibility" learning in this new reality is very different than the curriculum based classroom experience. @ETFOeducators #ETFO

A 2 page statement on assessment and grading in these difficult times from the Canadian Assessment for Learning Network. Canadians especially, please share widely. Feedback appreciated. #sblchat #ATAssessment #colchat #bcedchat #saskedchat

Dear Educators

Together my wife & I have four college degrees and over 40 years experience working with children

We have three elementary-school kids, two jobs, two computers, an old iPad, and slow internet

We have access and capability

We. Are. Still. Overwhelmed.

Thank you

Saw this post on Instagram. Love @fastcrayon’s insights (often) and want to reshare the conversation from our panel from Thursday’s #OnEdMentors looking at the power that assessments hold. Amy writes, “...aim to improve lives...The data will follow.” https://t.co/J5waTyQDoY

[Action for Happiness @actionhappiness]

Very happy to hear about this school which has replaced homework with acts of kindness 👍💕🌎

A depressing number of commentators on today’s PISA results talk about countries’ ranks rather than how well they did. Ranks are a really bad metric for seeing what is going on, and are even worse for looking at trends over time as the countries participating in PISA change.

[Yvonne Kelly @YvonneKellyCRF]

This can't be stated or repeated enough! This provincial govt. gave themselves a 14% wage increase & a 20% housing allowance increase. It is beyond reprehensible that they would suggest that asking for a cost of living increase is out of line. #cutshurtkids #NoCutsToEducation

Starting my morning off with a good question, “Why should kids work all day and come home and have to work a second shift?” @EdTechOPS #SummerConference2018 @rickwormeli2

[A. McNaughton @AMcNaughton71]

@MrWeisinger @MoraineHills Such an important conversation to begin!

[A. McNaughton @AMcNaughton71]

#yrdsbassessment Let’s think more broadly about the impact of assessment practices and particularly the impact on wellbeing of students https://t.co/aNlKeSenAZ

Some wisdom from Rick Stiggins for mental health week:
We need assessment that will encourage, not discourage; build confidence, not anxiety; bring hope, not hopelessness; offer success, not frustration; trigger smiles, not tears.
AfL can improve learning & increase confidence.
