If we choose to surround ourselves only with those who agree with us or who reinforce or validate our beliefs, rather than those with diverse experiences and opinions, we develop an implicit bias. #AVIDinAJUSD

@KidsDeserveIt A4: I am learning to take creative risks. Most of the time I feel foolish, but sometimes i find great success. Either way, i learn from my own experiences! #KidsDeserveIt

[Regan Roach @ReganLR]

@KidsDeserveIt A3: Allowing Ss to take risks and use their creative has to be modeled. It also has to be done in an environment where they feel safe. I believe if we open ourselves up to creativity, we will see Ss do the same. #KidsDeserveIt

@KidsDeserveIt A2: I think that 1% is so unknown that everyone struggles (teachers and students) #KidsDeserveIt

[Regan Roach @ReganLR]

@KidsDeserveIt Creativity is messy and sometimes uncontrollable. It's outside of our comfort zone as teachers. We are learning to let go of the reins, but we're still learning. #KidsDeserveIt

@MrsKatieCrook My certification test was multiple choice with more than one "correct" answer. You had to pick the "best" correct answer. As long as you can answer as the government would, you'll pass. #TeachSC

@mrdearybury Usually it's only my top kids parents who care, it seems to be bragging rights. Wait until that kid makes a bad choice, then it will be the schools fault. I had a S who had 100 in everything except typing. Parent wanted a meeting with that teacher to find out why. He had a 99.

[Regan Roach @ReganLR]

@Mickeyteacher It's really a day breaker. It makes a S shut down. I had a teacher give a student a printed progress report where missing assignments were highlighted along with Fs. Alot of highlight (3 pages). I asked the S what is said. His response. "I'm stupid."

A3: I hate the A-F system. Too many variables being applied to a math problem without any room to wiggle. #TeachSC

[Regan Roach @ReganLR]

@ljsmith0414 check this out! This would be a great way to summarize!

[Regan Roach @ReganLR]

@mrdearybury I don't think there's a perfect answer for this. Any suggestions? #TeachSC

[Regan Roach @ReganLR]

@mrdearybury A6: This is probably the toughest for me. I know my kids.... really know them. It makes grading a challenge. Did you give me your very best, or was today an off day? I guess that's why I allow resubmissions. #TeachSC

[Regan Roach @ReganLR]

@mrdearybury A5: I work at 2 sites. Last year we were told that 70% of a student's grade was dependent on assessments. You can get creative if you really want to. #TeachSC

[Regan Roach @ReganLR]

A4: Absolutely! If they take their time to fix something, they are learning the standard. Isn't that what we want? #TeachSC

[Regan Roach @ReganLR]

I am from Apache Junction, Arizona. I teach the AVID Elective class. ❤ it! #TeachSC

[Regan Roach @ReganLR]

A2: Nope. It just demonstrated my anxiety more than my subject knowledge. #TeachSC

[Regan Roach @ReganLR]

@mrdearybury A1: Yep. It made me sad and reinforced my own negative beliefs about myself. Hated it. #TeachSC

[Regan Roach @ReganLR]

@mrdearybury Are you there god it's me Margaret
