St. Albans High teacher, Jenny Allinder, thought of a creative way to remind her students that plagiarism is not okay whether in the classroom or online. Thanks, Jenny @KCBOE

A student bombs a test.
Teacher #1 responds: "What did you think was going to happen when you sleep in class and don't study?"
Teacher #2 responds: "You can do so much better! I believe in you!"
The way we interact with students matters. Our words matter.
Does the grade demonstrate what a student knows??? Probably not. And that is a problem.
"Very often grading has been as much about compliance as it has been about achievement,” O’Connor said. https://t.co/hUbPe1M4Pt
Testing is not teaching.
Data is not learning.
We can’t test to proficiency.
But we can teach them the power of learning.
We can show them the power of their thoughts.
We can give their voice space.
Enjoyed watching Hope Young's 8th grade science class at South Charleston Middle School use the @hpreveal app to study mitosis and meiosis. Thanks to the student who let me tag along. #kcslearning2020@KCBOE@SCMSWV
