  2. Thanks, Joe.
    This is a place we can have conversations when it is impossible to meet in person for our Tuesday COP meetings. For instance, next Tuesday, I have an all-day ODE meeting, so I propose we all complete Module 1, Introduction to Formative Assessment Practices, on our own, by that date. By the weekend, I will post a prompt or question on the blog related to this Module. Then, I hope that during the week folowing Oct. 30, you all will check the blog and respond to comments you find there. As you would tell your students, be thoughtful, ask questions, relate classroom experiences related to the topic, etc. You can find the Modules at the Battelle site described on pp. 22-23 in your FAMS Handbook. Our blog is at
    Thank you! Cher

  4. Thanks Joe for setting up our blog.
    Carmen and I have been creating fun, formative activities for word words. We used exit slips this week for two of our mini lessons. Right now we are struggling with differentiation following the formative. Climber time seems to be more about getting our students to do assigned practice or re-assessment rather than actual intervention. Time escapes us.

  5. Thanks Joe for setting this up. I, also, will not always be available with TNS every other week. This will help so much!
