@alicekeeler Which brings us back to teaching the students to understand and appreciate the WHY of what we teach not just HOW to do it.

[Kristin McDonald @MrsMcDonaldMath]

@alicekeeler Exactly! And what are we teaching them when we celebrate that as a "victory"?! 😫

[Kristin McDonald @MrsMcDonaldMath]

@kaleathe615 @MrsKWallace8 @rlsochacki @LoudTeaching @ShakeUpLearning Yay!! Thank you!

[Kristin McDonald @MrsMcDonaldMath]

YES! What is the point of a student grade? To show student mastery or to show student compliance? #WhatIsSchool #MiddleSchool #EdChat https://t.co/4LNS113T2d

[Alice Keeler @alicekeeler]

Don't average the scores. The new score should replace the old one. Mastery is mastery. @tguskey
