Build Math Minds Episode 230 Assessment Is a Conversation Getting Kids to Share What They Know wi
If you want lifetime access to all the sessions from the FROM Memorization TO Thinking Summit, including this one, you can grab that at https://buildmathminds.com/thinking-summit/ I used to think assessment meant finding what my students didn't know - the wrong answers, the gaps, the "not yet." Dr. Nicki Newton flips that in this session from the FROM Memorization TO Thinking Summit. Her thoughts: assessment shouldn't be about catching what kids don't know. It's about listening for what they do know. In this episode, she shares the story of a 2nd grader who taught her more in one hand-written note than a worksheet ever could, the one question she now asks before starting any new unit, and three places an overwhelmed teacher can start this week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For more in-depth trainings on specific elementary math content, join the Build Math Minds PD site: https://buildmathminds.com/bmm/ The Build Math Minds PD site provides elementary educators with PD and resources to better understand the mathematics you need to teach, so that you can help your students become flexible thinkers in math.
