@alexislmartin @tetheredtoed1 @MsRachelSOR Yes!!!

@sdtitmas I do that too ... Without even thinking.

@T_F_Berger And looked at that way it's the formatives we grade ...

[Sonja @DFWRenaissance]

@T_F_Berger In elementary we often think of formative assessment as the ones that are given in class under the teacher's aegis and summative assessments as being state board tests.

[Sonja @DFWRenaissance]

@T_F_Berger Any assessment is likely to be graded. The weighting for a summative assessment is higher.

I've been #teaching an after-school arts and crafts course and on Wednesday we made cartoon drawings colored with poster paint. I love the dog I made so much I just have to share.

@R_CILR Yes it turned out fine you just have to keep going you know.

@LFrostWrites Yes it's that Greek statue of a guy sitting there naked with his chin resting on his hand.

[Sonja @DFWRenaissance]

@edutopia Absolutely ... but only if they ultimately succeed. For this, as you note, they often will need direct instruction. Teacher observation is key.

This really sounds like a dream job ... part coach, part interventionist, part data analyst. #teaching #Education
