@cdomaleski @NCIEA1 Agree. Sad thing is many SEAs are forced to do it anyway.

[Andy Middlestead @middlestead]

@AndrewDeanHo @kontinent Always a favorite line of mine to use! 😀

[Andy Middlestead @middlestead]

@cdomaleski @NCIEA1 I’ll be there!

[Andy Middlestead @middlestead]

To what extent has the super-saturation of benchmark assessments in schools actually inhibited educators opportunity to grow in assessment literacy? They don’t have to create any of their own tools any more! @MIASSESSMENT #BBAF2022 @eroeber @jaymctighe @AndrewDeanHo

Finally got on the plane at 4pm and the pilot said “I’m not sure what the mix up was there’s no reason you guys should of been waiting this long. Seems like Delta just had a bad day.

[Andy Middlestead @middlestead]

@Delta Awesome! Almost 8 hour delay and staff have abandoned their post. P.S. my checked bag got on an earlier flight. I could not.

[Andy Middlestead @middlestead]

@AndrewDeanHo Nice work! Always a tough audience to hit.

Dads being Dads

[CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil @CBSEveningNews]

DADS ON DUTY: After a violent week of fighting at a Louisiana high school, parents knew something had to change. So, a group of dads decided to show up not just for their kids - but for the whole student body - to help maintain a positive environment. @SteveHartmanCBS has more.

[Andy Middlestead @middlestead]

What a great conference to be part of this week! Exciting to see not only Michigan friends but friends from around the country!

[Ninette Soares, Ed.S @NinetteSoares]

What a powerful summary session of the lessons learned about assessment practice this past year. @SGSnead @kwaltersflynn @RStiggins @EllenVorenkamp @middlestead The perfect end to the Building a Better Assessment Future conference @MIASSESSMENT @OaklandSchools

[Andy Middlestead @middlestead]

A pleasure! Thanks for having us @MIASSESSMENT

[Scott Marion @ScottFMarion]

Always fun to talk about assessment or really anything with @middlestead @JuanDBrot and a great audience of state and district assessment leaders! @kadie_wilson

[Andy Middlestead @middlestead]

While I will miss again my annual escape to New Hampshire this will for sure be a great opportunity! Check it out! @NCIEA1 @ScottFMarion @cdomaleski

[Scott Marion @ScottFMarion]

This promises to be a great RILS! @DBetebenner and Jeri Thompson @NCIEA1 have structured a terrific forum to help us all get smarter about innovative design! Put it in your calendar! @lillianpace @JDPoon @susandpatrick @AlinaVdav @abadri09 @AndrewDeanHo @middlestead

[Scott Marion @ScottFMarion]

My colleagues & I offer ideas about analyses state leaders and their partners will need to do this spring to evaluate test results. We encourage others to weigh in too. @NathanDadey @NCIEA1 @MichelleBoyerVT @middlestead @AndrewDeanHo @DerekCBriggs https://t.co/P19tk4sHf8

@davidaxelrod The worst part of it is that Jeep didn’t include the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the US map! It’s an auto company and they omitted a third of Michigan!
