It's especially problematic in my content World Languages because language acquisition doesn't happen in that way at that pace. And it's still too textbook influenced even if no textbook is used. #EdChat #edusky

Jam-packed curricula may "look" rigorous because OMG allthethings, and applying that into a classroom setting is unrealistic because it's all cognitive overload with zero substance. #EdChat #edusky

We had this discussion earlier on my campus. New teacher incentive pay will be tied to teachers who do things outside of their contract hours further blurring what is expected of educators in our profession. #edchat #edusky

As DEI becomes taboo in many states, educators are being asked to individualize instruction—without acknowledging the inequities that shape student experience. In short, doing more with less per usual. #edchat #edusky

I will openly admit in heavily relying on AI to create my PD, but the product is by and large my very own including my own from the actual presentation to the tone and quality of the content within. #edchat #edusky

School admin and colleagues should NEVER EVER even so much as insinuate that their staff check their emails during off contract time, yet so many educators do and will because they've been conditioned to give their time away for free. #edchat

Let's follow the money... Graduation rates affect what schools and districts receive from a funding level. There are successful people at all levels of business who never earned a diploma and either earned a GED or nothing at all. #edchat

Ashley Eberhart @aggieashley.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

A HS diploma has long signified that a student had completed a secondary education and met the requirements to earn a diploma. Some people argue that due to recent changes (i.e. job market, ed standards, etc.) a HS diploma has been devalued, what say you? #edchat

Welcome to #EdChat -- Topic: With Oklahoma changing its curriculum statewide to teach that Trump won the 2020 election that Biden stole, we must ask how we teach while omitting ideology and political propaganda. Here's a link for reference: apnews.com/article/okla...

So when there is criticism that students aren't meeting standards, who's at fault? The standards are able to be changed. Brain science and current teaching climates cannot. #edchat

Ashley Eberhart @aggieashley.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

Some content areas are so mired by standards that the class is more of a script that repeats itself year after year leaving little wiggle room for the teacher to add much meat. #edchat

I think we should also ask how often these standards are being updated to reflect the ever evolving technological landscape. That is, if these standards even matter. #EdChat

If you *really* wanted to measure student success, wouldn't you want metrics that follow them beyond 12th grade? #edchat #edusky

Ashley Eberhart @aggieashley.bsky.social · 30/04/2025

Rating schools creates an unnecessary competition. Education is a marathon, not a race, and each and every school has its own unique population with its own unique needs that can't be measured by tests, graduation rates, etc. Also these =/= student success outside of a school setting. #edchat

I'm working in a field where I have no need for higher level mathematical equations, yet I had to suffer through years of trying to understand them. I feel that in K-12 academics the focus is more on the trees and less on the forests. #edusky #edchat

However, a vast number of stakeholders have bought into it hook, line, and sinker. It's all tied to $$ and nothing else.

Standardized tests don't measure the highest levels of Bloom's Taxonomy, and they don't even get close to addressing how students will fare beyond grade 12. #edusky #edchat
