That’s a wrap teaching @NWTeacherLeader Designing for Inquiry Based Learning & Assessment! So grateful for the dedicated educators who spent the week learning & inquiring with us! @jbanD107
Finishing Day 1 of our inquiry and assessment course on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, reading books by @trev_mackenzie and @kjinquiry for @sesp_nu @NU_MSEd @megknapik
A new grammar of schooling that moves away from Newtonian standardization and towards purpose, relationships, authentic work, and student agency. https://t.co/CQGeCPVJHh
So appreciate my conversation with @a_rebora about authentic student engagement for the December issue of @ELmagazine This topic is critical in our efforts to reimagine education for whole child equity.
Five key facets every educator could work on in terms of personal & professional development:
1. Know your identity
2. Suspend certainty
3. Take responsibility
4. Engage in reciprocity
5. Build resiliency

.@ILSenDems, @LLCoolK_4, @SenatorLaura, @DonHarmonIL, @SenatorBillC & @ILSenateGOP oppose #HB256. Eliminating videotaping would do away with the usage of the Performance-Based Assessment edTPA. Research shows those who undergo PBAs change & strengthen their teaching practices.
Today, we adopted new teaching standards to better serve our diverse student population & ensure they feel welcome, included & accepted at school. The standards will foster classroom & school environments to support all students’ backgrounds & cultures.
