I had a chance to visit my parents today. When I'm there and surrounded by her dogs, I usually walk away thankful for how ordinary my name really is. Her dog names are Sassafrass, Itsy, Chubbs, and Nee-ner.

Frustrated by the outcome of a meeting tonight. Packets of worksheets, with no high cognitive demand tasks, is not the way to prepare my son for success in math. #wismath

Formative #feedback to Ss: here's what know, here's what you don't yet get, here's a hint, model, clue to move you forward #MCFlex17

[Nicole Cooksey @cookseynic]

Are your students assessment capable learners? Share learning targets & students can self assess against your objectives. #MCFlex17

@DDibley123 It's opportunities for some student to explore more deeply when they're ready.

Formative feedback sandwich: what part of LT was met, what part of LT wasn't meet yet, and hint/clue to move S forward. #wismath17

Re: DOK. When you ask superficial questions, you'll get superficial results back. #wismath17 @robertkaplinsky

@mdsteele47 @dylanwiliam Agreed! Teaching growth mindset to students is well and good but won't make up for poor (bad) teaching practices in the class. #wismath17

[Nicole Cooksey @cookseynic]

Our job as teachers is to destroy the bell curve. How? More Instructional time for the kids who need it in math. @dylanwiliam #wismath17

Formative assessment IS good teaching. @dylanwiliam #wismath17
