Regina Public Teachers, ICYMI, Try 3, then ask me. Imagine how much we will learn about tech supported and remote learning moving forward.

[Erik Van Dusen @evandusen]

And now we have one too! https://t.co/xAoy1MFv30

Check out this collection of resources you can use to supplement supplemental learning. Oh, and for goodness sake, take it slow and be incredibly judicious about the number of learning activities you explore.

This is a stressful time for all of us, but it can be especially scary or confusing for kids.

This Monday at 10 AM I'll be hosting a live press conference for Saskatchewan kids, answering their questions about COVID-19 and what it means for all of us.

The math behind flatten the curve. In case anyone needs to be further motivated to practice social distancing. Pretty sure there is plenty to do at home for everyone. https://t.co/IqisE2JUZX

Student attendance matters!
But student health and safety matters more! If your child isn't feeling well, or there's a chance they might be getting sick, keep them home - and let us know. Details here: https://t.co/7snoQfvIYM Wash your hands often, and don't touch your face!

@JennBrokofsky It was a pleasure! You’re always welcome here!

RPS. Tune into this to hear what Fountas and Pinnell say about reading levels. Please as you start the new school year remember that effective reading goals come from observed reading behaviours and understandings rather than from level labels.

Thinking on assessment as prompted by @evandusen - licking the batter off the spoon versus eating the cake.

[F.W. Johnson @FWJohnsonRegina]

Formative assessment is like taking a bunch of selfies. Summative assessment is like posting the best one, and seeing how many likes you get. @evandusen

[F.W. Johnson @FWJohnsonRegina]

Formative assessment is like a sketchbook, and summative assessment is like the final portrait. @evandusen

[F.W. Johnson @FWJohnsonRegina]

Some teacher-generated analogies: formative assessment is like riding your bike with training wheels, and summative assessment is like taking the training wheels off. @evandusen

[Krista B Gates @kristabgates]

Formative assessment is like going for your learners and practicing how to drive. Summative assesment is like going for your drivers test and getting your licence. @evandusen
