The end of the quarter was unnecessarily stressful due to TWAs and Unit Assessments that seemed misaligned with the rest of the unit.

I think Q1 was very difficult, more so for classroom management reasons than academic stuff.

It is stressful and makes it impossible to plan contiguous units that aren't based around silent, independent work. Yesterday, we heard about the importance of having classrooms that feel alive and engaged. This is not possible when scholars are constantly being assessed in testing environments.

and it made my scholars (and me tbh) feel very discouraged and disinvested in our data.

I agree with several others that the jump from short answers and exit tickets (low-stakes) to the full essay was a big struggle. Many of my students shut down because they were overwhelmed. They needed more scaffolding and time to build their writing skills.

It went okay. I'm not a big fan of using No Red Ink for writing assessment. Although I am interested in using it for grammar.

NRI made it a bit easier to scaffold and grade writing assignments. I would like to echo the fact that the leap from SPO to a full essay was challenging to teach.

Introducing writing at the end of the unit wasn't helpful. We needed more time and days to learn different skills to be able to do a on demand writing task.

Overall it went well. I'm a veteran teacher, so I know what to do. However I could have used a little more support about schedules and processes since I'm new to Uplift.

The TWAs, especially TWA3 for English I, were lacking. They do not mimic STAAR and are not in alignment with the TEKS necessary for students to acquire.

NRI made it easy to grade and add comments. The shift from a single paragraph to an essay posed some challenges, but they are overcomeable. (I'm 90% sure that's not a word but I'm going with it)

Okay.  The Poet X was fine and kids liked reading it, which was good.  I didn't find much of the unit helpful, however.  The TWAs were frustrating.
