Heritage reminds us that while learning is still in progress (e.g., during a unit), formative evidence should be used to provide student feedback and adjust instruction—not to factor into the final summative evaluation (grade).

@TomSchimmer Hi Tom! I’m not Canadian but we are doing this work in an upstate NY school and I’d be happy to connect if that would be helpful?

Big fan of your work, by the way!

@united has been a go to for trips to see my sister for years. Really let me down this time. 4 hours on the phone, 2 hours at the desk trying to rebook a flight that was canceled and ended up with not so much as a sorry. Really disappointing “customer service.”

Not all your students come to class wanting to learn… but they all come wanting to belong. And when they feel like they belong… they’re much more likely to learn.

@ChaseMielke I’m partial to Sarasa 1.0, but G2 are a very close second!

What a way to celebrate the new school year. The Back to School Bash our PTO puts on is second to none. Community coming together for our kids - this is what it’s all about! @WaynePublicInfo

Absolutely amazing first day with our kids today at Wayne CSD! Relief, excitement and an overwhelming sense of peace knowing that our kids are back where they belong!

[Derek DeMass @Derek_DeMass]

Welcoming our staff for day #2 with a powerful message of resilience with @ChaseMielke.

[Derek DeMass @Derek_DeMass]

A wonderful group of “new” teachers engaging in some professional learning. We are lucky to have this talented, dedicated group of educators and teacher leaders @bpulcini08 @Susan3Mack. The future looks bright! Here’s to a great 2021-2022 school year!
