Where can I find @kroger Soda Inspired Sparkling Water? I live in the DFW area. Kroger? Anyone?

Hey, @kroger there's a rumor that your selling Fizz & Co facsimiles... in some stores. I'm in a mega-Kroger right now. Nothing. What gives? There's no listing on the website. Am I being yanked by strangers or are you tormenting me?

Because of HB25, elem teachers have no leverage when dealing with S's and P's who see no value in completing class work or homework. Without practice, there is no growth. SB1697 makes retention highly unlikely. #txlege, why have you made apathy so easy?

Last week, I caught a news story about improved #STAAR scores for a few districts in the DFW area. Amazingly, more students accomplished Meets or Masters on the Reading test across grade levels. Good job, everyone! Truly a team effort!

When writing a lesson, I’m expected to begin with the assessment and work backward. I can’t just look at the objectives. I need to know how students will demonstrate their learning. Assessments should be appropriate measures of student learning and they should guide teaching.

If a majority of my students fail an assessment, I question my teaching and/or the assessment. I reteach and reassess. I don't just play with the numbers. When @TEAinfo fiddles with the numbers to this extent, Texas parents have to question the purpose and value of #STAAR.
