Do your students scribble notes furiously during lessons, only to stare blankly at pages of unprocessed information when it’s review time? Learning specialist @ReaDesignpro suggests teaching this research-backed note-taking approach to help kids distill key information. 🧵1/12

When students take thoughtful notes, “they are telling their brains, ‘This material matters to me.’” 🧠 @ReaDesignpro shares a guide to upgrading note-taking in your classroom: edut.to/45qiPTo

Levelled-up my learning design skills at inspiring day with @AngelaStockman! Thanks to @crconsortium and @tackaberryk for creating these amazing opportunities for teachers to stand on the shoulders of giants. #edchat #looseparts

@DrBradJohnson Remember when Brock Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant? He went from the last draft pick to starting in the Super Bowl. Standardized tests, like draft positions, can shape expectations and identity…but they don’t measure the future - or even the past.

Standardized tests measure a moment in time, not the breadth of a person's potential or the depth of their future success.

That’s also the popcorn question asking game. Anytime we ask students a question only to validate one answer, one methodology, one way of thinking we are asking them to read our minds. And when we create a class-culture around the teacher’s way of thinking, we create a hierarchy of ways of thinking, and a fixed mindset for all.

Much of the grading game involves students having to read our minds to figure out how to get the marks on the paper.

@KatieNovakUDL All the students who would have connected to the work, gone deeper in their learning and cared more about the work if they were given choice and voice.

Let's play a game! If I were to hand out a hard copy of an assignment to my classroom, who would I be excluding?

Getting excited to dive in to Building Better Writers with @AngelaStockman tomorrow!

Assessment doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It’s part of the community; it’s part of an ecosystem.

@Sandra_Herbst Thank you for inspiring our group and moving my thinking forward. You helped my ideas take shape and made that ecosystem we dream of more real, more possible, and more exciting.

With thanks to the incredible educators I have been privileged to think with this past week…

Inspired and empowered at #EESummit24 with @KatieWhite426 @natabasso @TomSchimmer
