Author and Educational Consultant. I believe education can be different. I love art of all forms. I think human rights and libraries are non-negotiable. (She/her)

Invite Chris and I!! 🌸
And I am not claiming I am the only reason this can happen. I just got to be there for the magic. #EduSky
One of the most fulfilling parts of my job as a consultant is being able to facilitate conversations and shared work where I can step back and watch teachers who trust each other enough to wonder and think together. This Fayetteville AR group did just that this week and it was magical. #EduSky
And I am not claiming I am the reason for this magic. I just got to be a part of it.
What if assessment felt like learning? #edusky
Publishing contract is signed and Chris and I can hardly wait to get this into hands of educators. Ready to rethink assessment to rethink learning? #flexible #responsive #studentagency @solutiontree.bsky.social

How do we engage folks in data analysis they have influence over? Thanks for the thought provoking morning @katiewhite426.bsky.social

Right? People are tucking their children under the seat?

Whether you are almost done with the school year or just finished, I think it's really important to take time and consider whether the way your grading policy impacted your classroom and particularly the learning within it.

(Even better: if you can, ask students about choices you made!)

This space was buzzing all day as Vancouver elementary teachers were led and inspired by @katiewhite426.bsky.social to think about responses to assessment, involving kids in the response, and meaningful core competency reflections. 6 sessions in 4 days with various groups! It was AMAZING!
Anytime we invite students to think about how they learn and the decisions they are making in service of learning, we are sharing the ownership of learning with them. Tools like this can help facilitate the process. www.solutiontree.com/ca/free-reso... #edusky

"Hey everyone, we're just going to pause for a second—one to five, how is everyone doing?"

1️⃣ ask them how they're doing
2️⃣ if you want, count the #'s (how many 5's, 4's, etc.)
3️⃣ have them share with a partner

Best 5 minutes you can spend in a classroom.

(Especially right now.)
Excited for tonight’s membership CAfLN Conversation. We have a great parent perspective to get us talking. Curious about CAfLN? Check us out here: cafln.ca
This is gold. Truly.
Had a really good experience with this last week, so I wanted to detail each step of the lesson (spoiler: we spent nearly an hour doing "stuff" before students got their actual feedback!)

Before You Return Feedback To Students
What we did as a class together (key word: together!) before students received their individual essay feedback

Mid-career shift for me as a teacher: realizing that how I return feedback to students is way more important than what the feedback actually is

In other words, no matter how much time/effort I spend on the feedback itself, it doesn't matter if I'm not intentional about how students receive it

Make your way to cafln.ca/events to register for our upcoming CAfLN Conversation Event. This Zoom session will focus on the Student-Teacher-Family Assessment for Learning relationship. April 16th 5 pm PST/8 pm EST.
If you have a collaborative team that is hoping to “level up” your impact on student learning, consider attending the High Impact Teams Institute this summer. We are in four locations. www.solutiontree.com/ca/events/in...
Ready to go with Chinook SD! Excited to work with this team again.
