T-Rex Rising Weekly Focus: March 2016

Week of March 29th - April 1st

WEEKLY QUOTE/THOUGHT
"So often we use assessments in schools to inform
students of their progress and attainment. Of course
this is important, but it is more critical to use this
information to inform teachers about their impact
on students. Using assessments as feedback for
teachers is powerful. This power is truly maximized
when assessments are timely, informative, and
related to what teachers are actually teaching."
--John Hattie

"Innovations that include strengthening the practice of

formative assessment produce significant and often

substantial student learning gains." --Dylan William

WEEKLY QUOTE/THOUGHT
"Remember that every misbehavior or
defiance in your classroom has a story
behind it...and 9 times out of 10, the
story behind the misbehavior won't
make you angry. It will break your heart."
-Lifelong Learners

"To be literate is to be on the pathway to
becoming a life-long learner, and literacy
is essential if we're to have educated
individuals and a truly free society...its
difficult, if not impossible to reach one's
full potential without being able to read."
-LeVar Burton

classrooms, kids start to wonder...when
they wonder, they want to learn more."
