@tomwhitby Education has historically been solitary. Let's collaborate in our classrooms! #edchat
RT @kathycook1: We need to model creativity and innovation by thinking differently and encouraging others to do the same. #edchat
@drdouggreen Agreed. But that begs the question: how necessary is assessment? Do we do away with it entirely? #edchat
How do you get teachers to let go of control and allow student centered learning tinyurl.com/454czsq? #edchat
RT @tomwhitby: I am of the growing opinion that we need to reform educators before we can reform education. #Edchat - TRANSFORM :-)
RT @isteconnects: How many employers use stand tests? not many. They evaluate through goals, reflections, review progress, discuss with employee. #edchat
@isteconnects So true! How do we help policy makers to understand that & teach reflection, goal setting & discussion-based learning? #edchat
RT @drdouggreen: @GaryBrannigan Outside of school the only tests I take are eye tests and driving tests. #EdChat
@inquirebook "We might start by getting education leaders to understand that teaching is about students. " Amen! #edchat
@cybraryman1 If kids publish their best work periodically we can use that for assessment. #edchat
@drdouggreen @cybraryman1 True, we just need to stop being married to one form of assessment to make judgments about kids #edchat
