This is tragic! Even more upsetting when you consider that many students didn’t complete major writing assignments in HS either!

@ms_petrosino Rely on mentors and accept help! Take this time to soak in all of the advice and experiences you can. Step up and take on lessons, discussions, grading - the more experience you get now, the better! And don't forget to breathe.

Thoughts on algorithm-based writing feedback? As someone who loves assisting in student writing growth, this hurts me! At the same time, if it encourages Ts to assign more writing... is it all bad? Is assigning writing enough? #teachwriting https://t.co/DzuTqYSZZB

"Critics of automated scoring worry that if we only train students to produce what a machine can reliably recognize, we reduce the goal of “good communication” to just a few traits." Important conversation #teachingwriting #essays #feedbackmatters https://t.co/qj8T54kb75

Interesting thoughts on helping students take risks while writing AND on the double standards we often have as writing teachers when we encourage writing as growth but then also enforce deadlines, grades, and penalties for "subpar" work. https://t.co/1aw5TSqbLg
