-Difficult to connect to curriculum
-Easier to teach in context but time consuming
-Loose/unstructured
-Easy for kids to cheat (online access/online testing)
-Like book, but lists can be too long
-Difficult for students to see value and reward. Takes a while to instill.
-"Extra" work for teachers and students. Doesn't always connect
-Alignment/progress between grades/courses
-Creation]]> 2018-02-16 17:51:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pearce_m/usxqnl3a89vk/wish/232441277 Ideas/Thoughts robben_j https://padlet.com/pearce_m/usxqnl3a89vk/wish/232442299 -We would like to see the lists (Marzano)
-Tier 3: Lit. Devices (KG)
-Kids can't identify connotation/shades/tone
-There's a problem... English/language scores are lowest (ACT, AP, etc). Gap is growing. How can we support with vocab instruction? (KA)
-ACT/EOC different--different testing! Not close reading of CC testing. ACT is speed reading. Teach them ALL types of testing conditions.
-We handle Tier 3 well (lit. devices). Gap for students to express themselves.  Nuanced emotions... Vocab tools needed to express themselves. (KS)
