We are going to leave this last question here for you to think about and have your Science peeps respond, too #KySciChat

@KySciTA Hopefully there will be an improvement in this area as it trickles through the grades.

@jbullard4 I was involved in writing 2 TCTs this year, it is a very demanding process, but so worthwhile! #KySciChat

[Olga Payne, NBCT @OSAPscience]

@EES_innov8 @KySciTA A4 Agreed. I think the most valuable aspect for me was identifying student strengths and weaknesses through task analysis.

[Olga Payne, NBCT @OSAPscience]

@KimWatters5 @KySciTA I am hoping that this mind-shift will be improving as instruction changes in lower grades. Yes, it will take time... #KySciChat

[Olga Payne, NBCT @OSAPscience]

@KimWatters5 @KySciTA Teaching through the 3D model, intentionally teaching science skills and practices. #KySciChat

[Olga Payne, NBCT @OSAPscience]

@KySciTA A2 Students are getting better at reading charts, but still lack self confidence in their answers. Almost all my students can identify variables in an experiment and identify which need to be tested. #KySciChat

[Olga Payne, NBCT @OSAPscience]

@KySciTA TCTs are so useful as formative assessments. They can really open your eyes to student strengths and weaknesses, that you may have missed otherwise!

[Olga Payne, NBCT @OSAPscience]

@carriebholloway @KySciTA The planning/preparation for Ts is so important to make TCTs effective in the classroom. Analyzing the results is so informative for teachers if it is used to inform teaching! #KySciChat @carriebholloway
