A4LWestEd https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1843625777 Add notes from your breakout room below. 

What can these scores tell you about student knowledge and skills?

How can you use this information to adjust instruction in the classroom?
]]> 2021-10-26 02:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1843625777 Will we be going back to the longer end of year test that was taken in 2019? Or is CA going to keep the shorter version? https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1859992958 2021-11-01 22:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1859992958 Will a recording of the session be available? https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860009246 2021-11-01 23:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860009246 New items in Spring Semester? https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860016929 A question from one of our teachers:
"I wrote my Writing/ Study Lab and weekly meeting curriculum with the intention to work on Brief Writes both semesters. Is there another IAB for Brief Writes that will come out in the Spring, or will it be the same one?"]]> 2021-11-01 23:19:34 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860016929 Do you have a direct link to the Handout 3OA.1? My school issued chromebook is not able to convert the file from ZIP. If not, I can join from my phone and see if I can access there.

Chunks of instructions. We lost interest so easily. It hurts that we expect our students to do this. 
Vitamins are not an interesting topic. 
How much is the performance task weighted in the total score? 
What are the standards that are being addressed?

-will need to support students with using online tools in secure browser for testing (lack of annotation capability challenging)
-practice and hands-on practice with IABs will support students before taking summative]]> 2021-11-01 23:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860041273 Mixed Group https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860044774 - too many words/scrolling
- activate text-to-speech feature for exceptional students as indicated on their IEPs.
- technology issues: lost my cursor, can't type on the box, etc.]]> 2021-11-01 23:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860044774 Not a question, but an insight. Based on the task, I wonder about the skills our students need to be able to put into practice without having the teacher asking them to close-read, or read the questions first so they can read with purpose, etc... So much is implied. https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860047504 2021-11-01 23:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860047504 SBAC + Digital Tools https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860048709 Where can we share feedback about digital tools? I wish there were more features for annotation with passages & that they were more intuitive - perhaps more like commenting in GoogleDocs? 

Are there any plans to update these features to better support students with enhancing their 21st century skills vs the current need to annotate/take notes etc on paper? (Notepad is not that helpful + doesn't always save currently)]]> 2021-11-01 23:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860048709 STAIRS https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860071912 Do we need to complete STAIRS reports for Interims, if an incident occurs? If so, what are some scenarios where we would need to do so?]]> 2021-11-02 00:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1860071912 Our group is questioning the rationale of the scoring on C-9. We all scored a little harder than the actual scores that were awarded. https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1862992250 2021-11-02 23:13:27 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1862992250 Elementary #1 https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1862995550 You can tell strengths and weaknesses and their gaps in knowledge. We like how the three scores are separated. 

We could group students who need more help in certain areas for small groups. ]]> 2021-11-02 23:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1862995550 About how many brief writes are part of the summative test? https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1863025844 2021-11-02 23:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/A4LWestEd/IFA110121/wish/1863025844
