@rpondiscio @rastokke There are so many bad education opinions because everyone has tons of anecdotal experiences in the education system. Most people think they can tell you what’s wrong or right with education based on their own personal experience, from their little corner of the world.

@rpondiscio When I was a principal, I avoided having new teachers observe, one or two of my top performers, because I didn’t think how they taught was a replicable for other teachers. But I did have them observe and learn from teachers whose skills were learned over time.

@karenvaites I’ve seen iReady being used by a ton of schools lately. Besides being a computer based program, what is bad about it?

[Teacher Teacher @BadgersPackBuck]

@Doug_Lemov Top two uses of white boards - 1. quick CFUs during first teach of a material (ideally during guided practice before releasing students to independent work). 2. Maximizing retrieval practice during review lessons.

@rpondiscio @rpondiscio - if you’ve watched “The Wire” it’s what they called “juking the stats”

@Peter_Bukowski @Peter_Bukowski who is the day 3 college tackle the Packers will draft this year who they may try to convert to a guard (e.g. Runyon, Tom, Lang, etc.)?

@rpondiscio I was raised blue collar (dad was a custodian) and am a white collar adult. Still shower at night. Sleeping while clean is so much more comfortable

[Teacher Teacher @BadgersPackBuck]

@Peter_Bukowski Richardson may be more talented but hasn’t stayed healthy and hasn’t had a productive season. I think it’s the same or less than Fields.

[Teacher Teacher @BadgersPackBuck]

@Peter_Bukowski @Peter_Bukowski - when are you going to talk about the offensive line in our off-season plan for it? It seems like we are going to be losing three starting offensive lineman in free agency. How are we going to replace them?

@smorrisey @rpondiscio @karenvaites There are so many teachers and leaders who were trained in Balanced Literacy. They may “know” what the research says, but are so much more comfortable doing what they’ve always done. Those programs offer comfort and familiarity to those educators.

@DTWillingham Are professors going back to blue books? Hand written exams with no electronics seem like an imperfect but good solution

[Teacher Teacher @BadgersPackBuck]

@MichaelPetrilli @rpondiscio @MrDanielBuck @karenvaites All HQIM assume skills & knowledge of students & when students have gaps, teachers need to insert scaffolds so students can access grade level material. If they don’t students will often be lost. It takes expertise to modify lessons without ruining the integrity of the curriculum

@rpondiscio The tricky thing about standards and principles is that they only mean something if they are universally applicable…January 6th anyone?

[Teacher Teacher @BadgersPackBuck]

@rpondiscio it’s the double standard that when right wing political figures/personalities say similar things it’s vigorously defended as free speech and anti-censorship. If you can’t agree on what protected speech and being anti “cancel culture” really means all arguments are in bad faith.

@educationgadfly However, grades are solely at the discretion of teachers, schools, and districts. So once grades become part of any accountability system for those stakeholders, they will have a perverse incentive to adopt grading policies that inflate grades to make themselves look better.

[Teacher Teacher @BadgersPackBuck]

@educationgadfly This is so dumb. Yes, GPAs reflect a student’s ability to meet the expectations of a teacher and the school they attend (do they do homework, do they complete class work, do they learn the material teachers put in front of them, do they prepare for tests, etc.)
