@Clemence_Mcl has written a fantastic novel. Check it out! You won’t be able to put ‘The Quiet Tenant’ down.

https://t.co/moRyDhNTYw is an excellent website: copy and paste any text & it will identify the tier two vocabulary. From this, the site can generate a glossary, multiple choice quizzes & more. For example:

@jkirk___ I am trying something different-we are having a class discussion about phones as tools and distractions, then students are writing their own policy for me to sign off on. I’ll be honest-not sure if it will work yet but we have had good discussions so far.

Moving to online teaching is a lot of work, not a pivot. Here’s a thread of tasks, mini units or sequences I’ve created for various Eng courses for use online. Please check for grade/level appropriateness. I hope I can make someone’s life a little easier. Please share. 1/11

@mctownsley @ScottMcNamara12 Got it. Thanks Matt. We were just talking about SBG and our PE department today so perfect timing!

Lesson idea: have students adapt from the graphic below. E.g. advice from a dog; advice from the ocean; advice from a musician, etc. Brainstorm your own list. Once you have a list, pick one and write. (My apologies: I do not know the source of the chart).

Leading a grading workshop on Monday for secondary teachers.

Planning to have them read and process: "Seven Reasons for Standards-Based Grading" https://t.co/jnraKACxG8 #sblchat

@PattiScriffiny: I just know your writing will resonate with these educators!

[Matt Townsley @mctownsley]

Grades should measure what kids learn. In L.A. they often don’t #SBLchat https://t.co/AxPGWHOGOf

@StephenKing Which John D. MacDonald novel do you recommend for someone interested in getting into his work? That guy was certainly prolific!

[Ryan Arnold @ryanarnold1968]

@pavement_band I have no idea where I got this.

#ELMagChat What if “grading” shifted from Letter Grades or Percentages to profiles of performance based on developmental/proficiency continua, that are independent of Grade Levels and Age? Think of colored belts in karate and the Red Cross scale for swimming.
