Thanks to the @EdcampEquity organizing team for being “deliberate and afraid of nothing.” This should be our charge on a daily basis. #EdCampEquity

A4 cont'd: This time NOT spend on rich instruction compounds over years, and in time months or even years worth of engaging lessons are lost. The kids who are most school dependent suffer the most. How could they benefit from having all that time back spent on good work? #elachat
Megan Lewis, MEd, NBCT retweeted
A4: At the end of the day, the decision to spend time on test prep comes down to what Shanahan aptly relays as "opportunity cost." The time spent on test prep could be better spent doing rigorous, engaging and rich work better preparing students for college and careers. #ELAchat

Q3: I think a hearty combo of fear, stress, and the misalignment of standardized comprehension questions to authentic reading and writing. T’s don’t trust that S’s will transfer that authentic practice to The Test #elachat

A1: Throwing a bunch of random passages at students and asking them to practice MC strategies isn't going to magically help them become better readers. Kids need to read and discuss texts that are meaningful to them and that will expand their knowledge and vocabulary. #elachat
Megan Lewis, MEd, NBCT retweeted
A1: Instructional time>Test Prep time. When we deliver instruction and teach students how to close read and practice text dependent q’s with the content we are learning, we are preparing for a test without losing one instructional minute. No random packet does that. #elachat

THIS:
"Reading comprehension questions are a horse of a different color. There is no reason to think that practicing answering particular types of comprehension questions would improve test performance."
