Passionate teacher moving research into the classroom. These are my views and thoughts for the moment. Tomorrow's are probably different.

That gnawing feeling in your stomach when you realize a parent has written four emails about you to the principal.

Teacher question....how many of you teachers out there would rather take a test versus actively proctor a test? #edchat

[Andrea Pless @realclassroom]

@mssackstein I believe this more and more. Look at how easy it is to manipulate any grade. The question is....what then? What doable feedback system would what work. I'm working on a learning profile to help! Slow going though.

@GetTeaching There is a great Harry Potter one....Harry Potter and the sacred text. I use it for reading analysis for my 5th graders.

Happy Monday teachers! I'm nervous about some parent complaints. Who has some motivation for me? #teaching #classroom

[Andrea Pless @realclassroom]

@danielfoodmusic @mssackstein Thanks! That was really good.

Refomers: This testing is turning out not to be accurate of future success.
Every teacher: *head desk.
Maybe we can also listen to the actual experts in the room.#edchat

@leeannjung And advancement.

[Andrea Pless @realclassroom]

@GregSederberg Another way is by giving them full trust and support.

[Andrea Pless @realclassroom]

@mssackstein I wish we could separate grades and feedback. Grades tend to be useless and controversial but feedback is essential.

@courosa 6. Blame teachers for all world's problems.

[Dr. Alec Couros @courosa]

The master plan:
1. Destroy public education.
2. Complain that public education is broken.
3. Explain how privatized education is the solution.
4. Award friends with huge contracts.
5. Profit. #onted #edchat https://t.co/V23LDJG0Yt

@jeffhiseredu @simonsinek Which means having a toxic free culture and trust!
