A4: I need time to dream with other teachers. I'm always craving PD, but right now I also just need time. #ATAssessment

A4: I'd like to continue to learn how to differentiate support in the classroom from assessment information. I'm doing all I can, but would love to learn from others. #ATAssessment

A5: It needs to change. Education can't be one size fits all and it is time to challenge the status quo. #ATAssessment

A5: We don't have to sit at desks to learn. Students are creative and innovative. How can we give them greater opportunities to explore? #ATAssessment

A6: I'm excited that professional development is opening back up again. I'm a big fan of edcamps. I need to know what others are doing and what are other schools trying out. How have they found success? #ATAssessment

#atassessment with Tom Schimmer starts in 30 minutes.

Hello #ATAssessment. I'm Mandy, curriculum and research coordinator from Illinois. Bread pudding!!

Hop on over to the #ATAssessment chat. We have started and we need some voices to add to the conversation.

A1: Be intentional, as a school, about investing in teaching and supporting those desired attributes. #ATAssessment

Just as we plan to teach and assess standards, we must be intention about the instruction around the attributes. Students must receive feedback. #ATAssessment

A2: These questions can and should always be our guide, whether talking about academic standards or student attributes. We want to know what is expected of students, how we recognize they are there, and how we can/will support them. #ATAssessment

A2: Through this intentional lens of support, we ensure students possess the attributes we hope them to possess. If not, strategic intervention and support are essential. #ATAssessment

A3: This comprehensive approach ensures that the whole child is supported. No matter the need, our system is there to support as they grow. #ATAssessment

Mandy Stalets Yes. If not, provide intentional intervention. It's absolutely essential. It is the heartbeat the students to survive. When students do not learn the essentials, we need to respond like the students are in a health crisis like ICU. We must have an urgent response. #ATAssessment

A4: Self-assessment and reflection by the student. Be intentional about having them reflect on goals. #ATAssessment
