A4: Self-assessment and reflection by the student. Be intentional about having them reflect on goals. #ATAssessment

Yes. If not, provide intentional intervention. It's absolutely essential. It is the heartbeat the students to survive. When students do not learn the essentials, we need to respond like the students are in a health crisis like ICU. We must have an urgent response. #ATAssessment
A3: This comprehensive approach ensures that the whole child is supported. No matter the need, our system is there to support as they grow. #ATAssessment
A2: Through this intentional lens of support, we ensure students possess the attributes we hope them to possess. If not, strategic intervention and support are essential. #ATAssessment
A2: These questions can and should always be our guide, whether talking about academic standards or student attributes. We want to know what is expected of students, how we recognize they are there, and how we can/will support them. #ATAssessment
Just as we plan to teach and assess standards, we must be intention about the instruction around the attributes. Students must receive feedback. #ATAssessment
A1: Be intentional, as a school, about investing in teaching and supporting those desired attributes. #ATAssessment

Hop on over to the #ATAssessment chat. We have started and we need some voices to add to the conversation.
Hello #ATAssessment. I'm Mandy, curriculum and research coordinator from Illinois. Bread pudding!!
#atassessment with @TomSchimmer starts in 30 minutes.
Join @TomSchimmer on the #ATAssessment chat tonight. We are discussing assessing student attributes. It will be an interesting one! See you at 6PT/9ET. @kenmattingly @AnisaBusby @MandyStalets @NicoleDimich @cerkens @kenoc7 @freeseframe912 @areibel @JadiMiller @LouiseGel2
A6: I'm excited that professional development is opening back up again. I'm a big fan of edcamps. I need to know what others are doing and what are other schools trying out. How have they found success? #ATAssessment
A5: We don't have to sit at desks to learn. Students are creative and innovative. How can we give them greater opportunities to explore? #ATAssessment
A5: It needs to change. Education can't be one size fits all and it is time to challenge the status quo. #ATAssessment
A4: I'd like to continue to learn how to differentiate support in the classroom from assessment information. I'm doing all I can, but would love to learn from others. #ATAssessment
A4: I need time to dream with other teachers. I'm always craving PD, but right now I also just need time. #ATAssessment
