@PoetryOutLoud helps students see just how powerful their voice can be, and how through poetry, they have the ability to touch people, and maybe even transform them. -- @MACartsDC #POL19

[Kate Smith @Edukateme]

Poetry is alive and well!

[Nat'l Endow f/t Arts @NEAarts]

We're live-tweeting from the @PoetryOutLoud National Finals tonight starting at 7:00pm ET! Does a recitation by one of our finalists make you fall in ❤️ w/ a particular poem or poet? Do you have a favorite state champ you're rooting for? Join the conversation at #POL19!

Advocacy: Sharing what we love on behalf of those we love #MICA2018 @sedomusicME

[Kate Smith @Edukateme]

Definition of Advocacy: to champion, to give voice to, to summon to one's aid!

[Kate Smith @Edukateme]

Allow and encourage students to ask questions. It gives teachers another way to know what students know and are wondering about. #MICA2018

[Kate Smith @Edukateme]

Grading can cause stops in learning. Some advocate for "delayed grading". Focus on feedback, reflection, visualization. #MICA2018

[Kate Smith @Edukateme]

Community members, parents, even many teachers, don't understand the role of assessment either. How, then, can we expect our legislators to? #MICA2018

"We need to untether assessment and grading". Jen Etter #MALI2018

[Kate Smith @Edukateme]

There is a call to rebalance our thinking around learning and assessment. This is our most tested generation. They are tired. #MICA2018

[Kate Smith @Edukateme]

What is the role of assessment when a teaching artist is only working with students once for a short period of time?

[Kate Smith @Edukateme]

Tell students "Assessment is FOR YOU." Important to build trust. #MICA2018

[Kate Smith @Edukateme]

What do we what students to know about assessment? It's a tool (not a judgement). It's offers clarity. It promotes learning. #MICA2018
