Came across this summer photo, it took a LOT of photo tries in the unpredictable breeze that day. Teaching is similar. What is often shared is what 'works' without the 'work.' Am old enough to remember getting 24 chances per roll of film. This digital took way more than 24.

Great to see new faces again at #resiliencechat, not easy questions, great sharing. Best part of ed is learning with others. #resiliencechat

A5 Assessments are tougher than first glance. They are hard to write well, make fair, know what the results measure, know what they miss. Standardized tests are a snapshot--but one that gets talked about the most. There are many other assessments during the year. #resiliencechat

A4 I think it's important to talk with Ss and their families about where their S is at with what kind of data, their short and long term goals, and what growth is happening. Framing things into pathways (learning habits, experiences, and successes) help w/context. #resiliencechat

A3 It feels like there was already a generational shift going on for years--our new Ts were different Ss themselves. In 2022, it means looking at what your Ss need with an open mind, it won't match previous years. #resiliencechat

A3 Learning loss is a term that is also spun. My thinking is that elementary Ss will make gains quicker than older Ss. Those that delayed post secondary options may end up on different paths. #resiliencechat

A3 "The intention is good—but our children are resilient, not broken, 'and as long as kids feel like their job is to come to school to be fixed, their hearts won’t be in their own work.' he insists." #resiliencechat edutopia.org/article/too-muc…

Interesting read, this is from 2015--Why Did NAEP Scores Drop? | American Institutes for Research air.org/resource/blog-post/w… #resiliencechat

A1 Mainly this news will be spun lots of ways. But it's results from a standardized test and it tells you how the kids did on what that standardized test measures. Not things not measured on that test. #resiliencechat

NAEP proficiency myth "The Natl Center Ed Stats (NCES) states emphatically, “Proficient is not synonymous w/grade level performance...Proficient on NAEP means competency over challenging subject matter...not the same thing as on grade lvl” #resiliencechat brookings.edu/blog/brown-cen…
