Minneapolis Blended 8 YOU ROCK!!!! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and ideas about assessment tonight! Feel free to go back and read through the chat to process the concept of assessment at your own pace. Ideas were flying!!! #MB8assess

[Katherine Higgins @ktbhiggins]

Q8: As you reflect on your classroom, which area of assessment is the most prominent (of, as, for)? How do you know this, and is it making a difference in your students’ learning? #MB8assess

@EAlbrecht77 A7: Has anyone ever heard of VABBing? We need to be validating, affirming, building and bridging with our students in order to meet their SEL needs during learning! #MB8assess

[kayla segura @kaylasegura7]

@ktbhiggins A6: STUDENT CHOICE! For literacy comprehension I let my students choose how they can demonstrate their work. From slides on the chrome book to creative posters to written essays... the kids have a voice! #MB8assess

[Katherine Higgins @ktbhiggins]

@AntonsonNicole @BeldePeter Yes!

[Katherine Higgins @ktbhiggins]

Q4: What can we do to make assessment more of a process, rather than a stop point in a unit? #MB8assess

[Katherine Higgins @ktbhiggins]

Q6: How can we differentiate assessments in order to meet the needs of all different types of learners? #MB8assess

[Katherine Higgins @ktbhiggins]

Agreed!

[Lindsay Woodson @woodson_lindsay]

A4: incorporating assessments through out a unit helps teachers and students see where they are at and where they need to go. Small assessments such as exit tickets can be useful! #MB8assess

@JessicaSlobodz3 It doesn't need to fee frantic:) Take your time ~ there is no rush! It is fun to 'see' everyone online together on Twitter!

[Katherine Higgins @ktbhiggins]

@EAlbrecht77 Enjoy the learning tonight!

[Mr.Belde @BeldePeter]

@EAlbrecht77 A1: Instead of assessing students, handing back the graded assessment, and moving on, we have to find a way for students to interact with the content and grow from the mistakes.

[Katherine Higgins @ktbhiggins]

@BeldePeter @EAlbrecht77 YES!

[Katherine Higgins @ktbhiggins]

Q2: How do we find a balance between the many types of assessment options/styles and required tests (district/state)? #MB8assess

[Katherine Higgins @ktbhiggins]

@EAlbrecht77 A1: Reflection is key! Getting students to reflect on their learning and set goals will move the dial and make assessments more meaningful! #MB8assess
