I agree. This is incredible to look back on. @TheBushCenter you are an incredible leader!
This is, by far, the greatest moment of presidential oratory that has ever happened in my lifetime. The fact that it was largely off-the-cuff is incredible.
Still gives me chills & brings a tear to my eye 25 years later. God bless America.

Tom Brady was asked if he would have stayed at Michigan in today’s portal/NIL era.
“Those lessons I learned in college transformed my life as a professional.”
Tom Brady 🔥
Great response from the GOAT.

Assessment does not mean test.
Assessment does not mean test.
Assessment does not mean test.
Assess means "to sit beside."
Assessment is about our job in knowing where kids are, in communicating where they need to go, & in providing actionable steps to get there.

“Education isn’t about getting kids to pass a test, The real goal ❤️ is to build a LOVE of learning.”

We get it wrong in our work.
It’s not high expectations for ALL.
It’s high expectations for EACH.
Not to where all should be, but from where each is.
A long ago former student reminded me of this last night.
Each can only learn from where they are.

Instead of, “Is he passing?”
Let’s try, “Is he learning?”
Our conversation will never move on from the pass-fail construct, until our questions move on.
Let’s move on.
We can do better.

Traditional.
Standards-Based.
Gradeless.
All can be used helpfully or harmfully.
Grading is not the conversation.
Learning is the conversation.

Maybe instead of proficiency scales we should present support scales.
"This is how I will support you."
vs.
"This is how I will grade you."
The scale would define the teaching that supports the learning.
We are supporters, not graders.
Different has to be different.
Taking time to have some fun and continue to build community within our team yesterday. Love working with our team @BoeckmanTigers @JoeSageBMS

Every kid the star of their story.
So lucky are we to be a part of their cast.
Even if it’s only a bit part.
Teachers live blessed lives.
