@Rose_in_PA @paul_emerich we take 4 benchmarks a year plus state testing. Each one takes a couple hours a day for 2 weeks. All that time lost from actual instruction.
@paul_emerich I would happily trade my data team mtg I sit in discussing data my team already discussed for working with kids an extra hour. We KNOW they are behind.
@MrVaudrey we are moving to standards based grading, so we have advanced, proficient, basic and below basic and we have a rubric with descriptors for each in kid friendly language we discuss at the beginning of the lesson/unit
@JoannaNoBanana Audible. I had bingewatched Queer Eye and discovered that Tan and Karamo have books! I also listened to Will- HIGHLY recommend if you like Will Smith, so good :)
@janemarielynch I remember my dad talking about his parents, aunts, and uncles drinking Schlitz and playing cards on a Friday night in East St Louis while he and the cousins all hung out in the other room โบ๏ธ Your mom was a beauty.
