@susangbarber Twitter doesn't allow enough characters to list the names. But this is funny. I'll steal it next year.

@jasonlytle I missed this by a day. I'm crushed. Dying to hear there's a solid audio of something off this tour.

[Ryan Offield @mroffield]

@jasonlytle This breaks my heart. I absolutely have to leave France that first morning. If you can sneak me into a rehearsal I'll volunteer anything I can volunteer for every French kid that sang in your last foray. Love from CA. Congrats on this pending awesomeness. Meet for a pint week of?

Summative Bridges: Growth Model - We set this to 1984 & Personal Statement Grade 12
Takeaway: after formatives, combine formative and summative as challenge escalates

I've done summative portfolios; trying a Practice Portfolio this year. One doc. All practice. Add links/images to it; draft on it. Copy/paste from it to submit. Emphasize growth happens before the test. #mercyBts #EnglishTest #aplitchat #aplit #pedagogy

Summer = educated Ed experiment time: Bridge Quiz... After summative & after new LTs intro'd/practiced, 50/50 quiz content between last Summative & next Summative, but 75/25 scoring weight (old/new) Less risk on new LTS + reinforce previous #mercybts #englishteacher #teach

@LuraMilner Great for all students, and excellent use of time in class for post-AP.

[Ryan Offield @mroffield]

@MsSteminist @MrDemlinger Haven't seen it yet, but my fear on the issue is as they root out flaws, they'll concurrently master manipulation. Fewer accidents, more effective targeting, further acceptance of wretched norms. There'll be legislative wins and losses coming. Go team Mitigation of Horror!

@LuraMilner I mentioned it as an option and they RAN with it, so I formalized it. Biggest surprise: how much they embraced the extra effort upfront. S's crushing it!

[Ryan Offield @mroffield]

@MrMorrisonBHS No, but I am now.

[Ryan Offield @mroffield]

Happy with this Loom technique: S picks two 2 details I mention on the explication and 2 I don't. Unique insight on all required to move on. #syntax #diciton #litimagery #apllithelp #mercybTs #distancelearning #aplit #EnglishTeacher #aplitchat #engchat #THEBOOKCHAT #elachat

GD Mote = fun; S does rewrites right in the comment. Had a S find 5 better words for says; they don't have the visual comment to digest and revisit, but paraphrase makes them to slow down instead of seeing & thinking "okay. I get that." and then forget. #mercyBts #EnglishTeacher

[Ryan Offield @mroffield]

#goformative as summative: https://t.co/JaSqrhxjLW is solid for summative integrity - I see all answers at once; add questions only as the test goes - s refreshes screen for the new question. great quiz method. #edtechchat #edtech #mercybTs @KnowingTechk12 #distancelearning

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

The House will pass a bill to give Americans $2,000 checks. Then I will move to pass it in the Senate.

No Democrats will object.

Will Senate Republicans?
