Hate it when Ss are more concerned about the 'points' of a book rather than if they actually enjoy it.

If NC school letter grades were based off 100% achievement this is what they would look like… #nced

[EducationNC @EducationNC]

If NC school letter grades were 100% growth-based, the letter grades would look like this… #nced

[EducationNC @EducationNC]

If NC were to weight schools by 20% achievement & 80% growth, here are the letter grades… #nced

[EducationNC @EducationNC]

If NC used 50% achievement + 50% growth as the measure for letter grades this is what the map would look like #nced

A3 Ss not exposed to that style of learning, T must provide scaffolding which many are unsure how to execute. #currichat

[Zach Morrow @ZachMorrow]

Greater engagement and relevancy. #currichat

Good to hear @soucek state he doesn't see a quality teacher being replaced by tech. #googlefest

[Zach Morrow @ZachMorrow]

@ChelEarle oops meant standards, not students

[Zach Morrow @ZachMorrow]

@ChelEarle data collection needs a machete however. Not all the studs are bad #supportthecore

[Zach Morrow @ZachMorrow]

@ChelEarle common core needs heavy grit sandpaper. #supportthecore

[Zach Morrow @ZachMorrow]

@ChelEarle def not defending Pearson, Coleman, Duncan. never have. As a teacher, don’t want to see the baby out w/ the bath h2o.

[Zach Morrow @ZachMorrow]

@ChelEarle read @ladyliberty1885 blog with every update as she is in NC with me. agree with lots. High stds, good teaching, will help Ss.

[Zach Morrow @ZachMorrow]

@ChelEarle disagree. My 4 yr old is already doing it through #dragonbox. It doesn’t mean they are actually doing algebra. #supportthecore

[Zach Morrow @ZachMorrow]

@ChelEarle you should not need to sacrifice content to satisfy core writing demands. The writing should be supporting the content

[Zach Morrow @ZachMorrow]

@Linda1746 agreed! There are parts I don’t like, but the “it’s a curriculum” argument doesn’t hold weight with me. #supportthecore

[Zach Morrow @ZachMorrow]

@Linda1746 an aligned test doesn’t dictate how I prepare my students for it. #supportthecore

Instead of being upset about that tough class - be grateful for the great classes and TELL THEM you appreciate them.
