@HockeyVice_ Why would Montreal take two anchors and gut their team? Ridiculous proposal!

@LaheyHNIC Hughes fight? You're talking about a quitter who registered 7 hits as a d-man over 74 games...

@thorku @RolandDerek He quit on one team, so don't get too attached. I'm stuck with a jersey because I got attached...

Love this on the wall in the Denver airport! #ownit

[Tom Hierck @thierck]

@CanucksArmy Nope, being a quitter disqualifies him. When the team needed him the most he bailed (even after letting them bend over backwards to appease him). No team should celebrate a quitter like that.

Gotta love @AirCanada land at 4:25 and finally make our way off the plane at 5:25 as we arrived with an international flight at the only gate the airport has apparently…

Is there a worse rental car shuttle service than the one at LAS? Irregular schedule, always crowded, shuttles that just go past, status change to “not in service” after sitting for five minutes #theworst

Thanks to all the colleagues for your support of my nomination. Honoured to make this list for the 5th time and to land in the top 10. Congrats to all who were recognized. Humbled to be on the list alongside many inspiring educators. Check it out here: https://t.co/vC894sngoA

@mctownsley Thanks for that Matt. I think it’s easy to get focused on a score than growth. Historically, folks would be ecstatic if a student moved from a B to an A even if they only grew minimally (statistically irrelevant) but still label failure for a kid who grew from 35 to 55.

[Tom Hierck @thierck]

Thanks Matt. We appreciate your support, and I'd love to hear some of your takeaways.

Re-reading excerpts from this book to understand a variety of ways to implement standards/skills-based grading.

@mctownsley That's a good point and is what allows for a focus on growth and not just achievement.
