There are really only two flaws with using tests to assess learning: Right answers often don’t reflect real understanding, and wrong answers often don’t reflect the absence of understanding.
(Note that this is true of teacher-designed tests, not just the standardized kind.)

It’s not a race 👏🏼

[Joy Hodkinson (she/her) @JoySarahh]

I was 'slow' learning to read and remember sobbing to sleep after a friend's mum, a school teacher, asked if I "minded being behind" (I was 8).

Last week I graduated from @Cambridge_Uni with a distinction and a prize in Medicine.

I'm enjoying my scenic route. It's not a race.

Top tip this one 🙏🏽

[Megan Ryder @MrsRyderEDU]

Teacher Tip: If you use @SteveWyborney’s Esti-Mysteries with students and you have an iPad, you can split screen and have a hundred chart open in @explainevrythng as the class eliminates possible answers. Thanks to @joboaler for the hundred chart resource.
