Overview of Assessment Changes #cresteducators

New staar redesign test items @gonzales_isd things are changing - how will this change, enhance, and/or support classroom instruction and assessment types @CREST4Educators

No more silos in teaching - reading and writing should always be integrated but now there’s a major call to action - this is the last year for stand alone writing now students will write in response to the information #read @CREST4Educators @gonzales_isd

#CRESTEducators PIE is only for dessert. 😊 Author’s purpose and craft connects for comprehension.

CREST looks different, but collaboration is happening! #CRESTEducators

@catydear @TheRock Sorry I bailed this morning. I got a call. 😂

Code shift genres. Read aloud to inspire the uninspired and invest! @lester_laminack #CRESTEducators

Recognize not all students will come to us with the tools they need to learn. Now, more than ever, we need to help them build background knowledge and encourage them to use their own experiences to make them want to learn. @CREST4Educators #CRESTeducators @lester_laminack

Lester Laminack urges us to be book evangelist! We need to help our students be curious about the world and we can build this curiosity through the read aloud. #CRESTEducator

Lester is always a joy to listen to! Profound things from a picture book! ❤️ #CRESTEducators background knowledge matters. A Fish is a Fish. @lester_laminack

Good Evening, Texas literacy educators! Attending tomorrow’s virtual CREST meeting? I hope your Twitter fingers are ready to go! #CrestEducator Retweet to be entered into a special conference drawing! #doorprizes @CREST4Educators @lester_laminack

Mic drop. Grades should be reflective of the ending, not the journey. We should challenge ourselves to grade the learning, not the getting there or what’s easy to grade.

Our entire district has worked tirelessly to get things ready for today! I pray for grace on all sides as everyone does their best to serve and educate these amazing little humans. #mansfieldstrong #MansfieldISD

I know most teachers out there are drowning in the quicksand of uncertainty regarding what "back to school" will look like. @lizziehetzer pictures of possible ways workshop might go brought me so much comfort. #gratitudeabounds @KellerLiteracy @kisdlit #tcrwp
