@LASimmonsTX146 Stringent is absolutely the wrong word to use when describing the rating system

@BoringBiz_ it is also very noticeable. not hard to pick up the pattern recognition and now when i get work product in the claude format then i almost immediately disregard

@MikeJoh14725926 You recommending her seems like the worst endorsement of all time

@MikeJoh14725926 What about CCMR metric? Does that depend on STAAR?

@MikeJoh14725926 @headgeo The long form document would be to address all of the obvious counter arguments against your solutions because on their face in your post their they frankly seem even less than half-baked

[are we there yet @WeThere247]

@MikeJoh14725926 @headgeo What are your solutions? Can you please share with me maybe in a long form document because the nature of tweets make it hard to capture your comprehensive view

@tgrierhisd Laser-focused on student outcomes: Measure growth on formative/interim assessments in reading & math (by subgroup). It's the clearest, most direct signal of actual learning gains and actionable immediately. Everything else is secondary.

@MikeJoh14725926 @headgeo TX teachers average 50+ hrs/wk, much from reinventing lessons nightly. Hopefully BB can be used as a tool to help focus planning time on kids and not creation. Lots of trade offs but this at least attempts to address a major teacher complaint.

@MikeJoh14725926 @hylandforsbisd Do you think there is copyright infringement or it just leverages a similar learning sequence? What about ELA?

[are we there yet @WeThere247]

@MikeJoh14725926 @hylandforsbisd More local preferred but there are levels of scale in the system that are an advantage. At least Bluebonnet is much more locally developed than most name branded curriculum.
Issue with SAT is that it is too late in the game.

@MikeJoh14725926 @hylandforsbisd Fair concerns but pure local control risks low standards, grade inflation, and bigger gaps for disadvantaged/minority kids, plus resource strain hitting rural/small districts hardest while urban ones cope better. No apples-to-apples comparison either.

@MikeJoh14725926 @hylandforsbisd What data would they use to inform their different accountability systems?

[are we there yet @WeThere247]

@MikeJoh14725926 @hylandforsbisd I don’t understand how your answer is no? How do you propose local communities hold their schools and districts accountable

[are we there yet @WeThere247]

@MikeJoh14725926 @hylandforsbisd Are you advocating that each ISD develops their own accountability rating system, create their own standardized academic standards and test for which they measure their accountability rating to?

[are we there yet @WeThere247]

@MikeJoh14725926 @hylandforsbisd The state is responsible for the test and rating, just like they set the bar for every licensed profession. But your local board still picks the teachers, chooses the materials, and decides how to actually teach the TEKS.

Stop blaming the ref and take responsibility

[are we there yet @WeThere247]

@hylandforsbisd @MikeJoh14725926 I have. Which curriculum do you think should be included that isn’t currently? Which districts have submitted it for approval?

[are we there yet @WeThere247]

@MikeJoh14725926 That’s an overreach. His push toward phonics-based reading aligns with today’s “science of reading” consensus, and NCLB forced long-overdue transparency on student outcomes.

@MikeJoh14725926 @LjforTexas @Idiotsavantii @teainfo @TXSBOE Texas teachers review every single question, passage and item type before it makes its way into the actual test. There also a standard psychometric analysis done post test to identify any unintended bias or quality gaps.
