This is an amazing, eye-opening article. You all really should read until the end. It made me thing of how much our society and our schools need to grow in order to become a place for every student to thrive.

@KennaCarroll10 That's actually a really cool way to think about peer assessment. I love that you want to use it as a way for students to acknowledge their peers hard work!

[Felicity Keel @FelicityKeel]

@WillCoggswell This is so important! Some students don't do well with certain types of assessment, so only using one method can set them up for failure, and as a teacher we want to set them up for success.

[Felicity Keel @FelicityKeel]

@mmveled This is so smart! Students with no motivation aren't going to be engaged, so its important to make sure your assessment and lessons are catering to your students needs.

[Felicity Keel @FelicityKeel]

@BrittanyBrophy1 I agree. It is important to make sure that students have support from the school, because parents don't always have the means to provide these.

[Felicity Keel @FelicityKeel]

@BrittanyBrophy1 So true! Students need affirmation and if they never receive it, they can become discouraged.

[Felicity Keel @FelicityKeel]

Student's want affirmation and approval. If you give it to them, especially when they are doing well, this will help motivate them and brighten their day!

Some student's don't have outward physical signs of engagement, even though they are still engaged!

While extrinsic motivation can be a great way to get students involved in the class, intrinsic motivation can be more effective and long lasting.

@emily_martire I agree. It is important to emphasize this when testing your students, because feeling like you are worth only your grades can cause unnecessary feelings down the line.

[Felicity Keel @FelicityKeel]

@MichaelaLester2 I agree. If not, students will learn to hate testing, when it should be used to help them.

[Felicity Keel @FelicityKeel]

@BrittanyBrophy1 So true! I feel like teachers should make sure most of the class is understanding the curriculum before moving on and assessment can be key in this.

[Felicity Keel @FelicityKeel]

@SarahSamStern2 I thought this was so cool. I want to implement many of these in my classroom.

[Felicity Keel @FelicityKeel]

@emily_martire This is so important. You should always have reasons for assessment because anyone could ask for the purpose.

[Felicity Keel @FelicityKeel]

This is a great article about helping students become comfortable with math.

[Felicity Keel @FelicityKeel]

Take your time and be patient when trying new things with students. Changes take time and some students may need more encouragement to be open minded than others.

I never had a problem with peer assessment so I didn't even realize that so many others did.
