Percentage grades FEEL objective because they involve math. But a percentage doesn't communicate learning well and is no more objective than a teacher's judgment. #SBLchat #TG2Chat #EdChat #Assessment #Inclusion #ATAssessment

"The problem is schools traditionally communicate feedback with grades and averages. Doing so means that perfection is required with each attempt. In reality, that’s the worst thing we can do if we’re aiming for engagement." @lyonsletters #studentengagement

SNOW much fun! ❄️ A paper “snowball fight” in the hallway @alexis_apark is an active way to get kindergarten students learning ways to make 10 and use their developing French language skills! They were having a “ball”! 😉☃️#friendlynumbers #joyfulmath @SD22Vernon
