In a recent article (that I found in Marshall Memo 721) entitled &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1aqy-c7Vlj2Fwwg25dyvgxapHsbpuoU7W\/view?usp=sharing\">What Matters When we Assess Learning<\/a>&#8221; Jay not only outlines what <em>matters<\/em>, but also provides some practical examples of how these things can be <em>implemented into teaching<\/em>. If you are considering or spending any time at your building talking about student assessment of learning (and for learning!) then this might be an article that you share with your teachers for reflection or further discussion.<\/li>\n<li>As you recently learned, beginning next year our middle schools will be offering Algebra I to advanced math students instead of Geometry. Qualified students may take Algebra I within your building, through BLPSO, or at their feeder high school.\u00a0 If you are considering having <strong>a section of Algebra I taught at your school<\/strong>, the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">endorsement your math teacher needs<\/span> (according to TSPC website) is one of the following: <em>basic math, foundational math, or advanced math<\/em>.
