A2: This is a tough one for me. Using backward design, I look at the assessment to guide instruction but allowing my students the freedom to explore their own questions and ideas can make it difficult to design an assessment that works for all students. #iasciencechat

Visited Griswold CSD yesterday. Loved the collaboration room they created. Students can see teachers working together and teachers see the students and the principles guiding their work. @IADeptofEd @nigeljhorton
