Having formative data, formative feedback for me as a teacher
changed changed everything about how how I was teaching. The first time
I saw what my class just did in the last
in the previous 30 minutes around the writing that they were doing
was awesome. I mean I really had to sort of catch my breath. I had never
gotten a data display that showed me what just happened in the classroom and at
the same time
allow me to look at all the writing that was happening in that classroom.
And so that was shocking to me as a teacher
but I was I realized that I was able to act much more quickly
on that data with my students than I ever had before. So instead of
making that discovery about what happened in my class on Tuesday on Wednesday
afternoon
and trying to scramble to figure out what I was gonna do on Thursday
I knew would happened in class on Tuesday on Tuesday.
