Personal Motto
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than
by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe
harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
~Mark Twain
Purpose WHAT to do
not HOW to do it
New ways for students to demonstrate their learning
Fresh strategies to get your students
excited about assessments
What is it all about?
It is not about the program.
It is not about the apps.
It is about the learning target.
It is about what knowledge
the students must
demonstrate.
Pre-Assessment
What do the students already know??

Letters from the Japanese Internment Camp
March 5, 1943.
Dear Friend,
My stomach feels like butterflies. Why is this happening? One day I was happily making bracelets, and the next day somebody came to the door and said we had to go to camp because we look like the people we are at war with. It’s so not fair. America doesn’t trust us anymore.
