WEEKLY QUOTE/THOUGHT
"There is little point in spending time on Formative
Assessment unless it leads to modification of
Teaching and Learning. In other words, Formative
Assessment is a means to design instruction that's
a better fit for Student needs, not an end in itself."
                                                     --Carol Ann Tomlinson















"The most important thing about feedback is
what the students do with it."   --Dylan William

April 4th - April 8th, 2016

WEEKLY QUOTE/THOUGHT
"The overall opportunity gap is the result
 of a compilation-the cumulative effect of
 many separate gaps. When the time comes 
 that we make a serious, sustained effort
 to close those gaps, we'll lift ALL 
 children up. We'll see children succeeding
 at new levels, as high as their opportunities
 will take them."  -Unknown

























"An Educators job is to maximize what you've
 been given, whether is a little or a lot. 
 Find as many ways as possible to maximize your
 students' potential."  -Jay Parker
