@MsMac321 A3: It has made it easier to provide timely and actionable feedback to students in a variety of formats. Students can interact with my feedback and make adjustments much more efficiently, as well. #edu255chat

Q3 - How has technology impacted your classrooms/schools since you started teaching? #edu255chat

@MsMac321 Q2: I recommend anything that allows students to collaborate with one another, such as Google docs or slides. #edu255chat

Q2 - What are some tools and/or technology must haves for the classroom? #edu255chat

@MsMac321 Build relationships. Pick your battles. Follow through and be consistent. You got this!

Q1 - What is your best classroom management tip for first year teachers? #edu255chat

@MikeDOstilio @mctownsley @WTDirectorSecEd @tguskey @laurajlink @JoeCFeldman @rickwormeli2 @leeannjung Thanks, @MikeDOstilio I hope it was helpful!

@mctownsley thanks for providing this download to help all districts on the journey. Thank you and @MeganKnight85 for this writing to serve as an additional compass for all district grading coalitions. @WTDirectorSecEd @tguskey @laurajlink @JoeCFeldman @rickwormeli2 @LeeAnnJung

To emphasize learning over task completion, replace the verb “do” with the verb “learn” every chance you get. LOVE THIS! @garnet_hillman @MandyStalets

@mctownsley Ha thanks Matt! Good to “see” ya online! And btw If you’re ever late for teaching math, just say, “Sorry I’m late. I took the rombus!” 🤪🤣

My vote for #SBLchat research reference of the night, Dr, Knight.

Thanks @RoweRikW & @KatieBudrow for a great chat! I’ve been on hiatus since having my kids, but it’s fun to get back in the game and learn from you all! #sblchat

Where to begin SO MUCH research that fewer levels increase accuracy and reliability. Starch & Elliot paved the way in 1912 and a replica of their study by Brimi in 2011 are my favs to show why. @tguskey also has good articles on this. #sblchat

A5 I love to paraphrase @TomSchimmer that if we want Ss to be responsible we must TEACH responsibility. Grading is not teaching. I’m a proponent of reporting and MTSS systems for both academics and work habits if we truly believe in teaching responsibility. #sblchat

A4 If Ss need grades to “learn,” how come they spend hours on YouTube and TikTok learning new things without grades? We can’t make all Ss love our content, but we can make learning purposeful and engaging. #sblchat

Agreed. I had MANY assignments for feedback only and did not have a problem with work completion (other than a select few who would have struggled even if it was graded). Especially when Ss see value in the feedback & can use for later success. #sblchat

It’s up to us to create a culture of learning over earning. Ss value what we talk about; language matters. And we hold Ss accountable for other behaviors and work habits without grades, so we can do the same for assignment completion. #sblchat

I love listening to @TomSchimmerPod while walking these cuties around town. If you’re looking for an outstanding educational podcast with world renowned guests & applicable takeaways, I highly recommend it!! (While you’re at it, check out episode 38. 😉)

@NorthScottCSD Welcome, Alex! We are so glad you joined us!! :)

Social Series: Meet the NEW teacher! Please help us welcome Ms. Felsing to North Scott! #LancerPride

@mctownsley @1stEdResources @LarsonGarth @rickwormeli2 @myrondueck This was such a great conference in the spring! Not sure how I missed the boat this time around, but I'm sure it will be awesome. Go get 'em!

Hard to believe the #LearnerFirst Fall #STAGR conference is already here! Looking forward to another opportunity to share and learn about all things standards, targets, assessment, grading and reporting. #sblchat firsteducation-us.com/stagr-conferen…
