Grading for Equity TwitterChat Mondays 8-9pm EST #Grade4EqChat

Several of the physics PD sessions I've attended this summer have mentioned Grading for Equity by Joe Feldman, and how much we'd like to have a discussion about it. So, in the interest of pushing myself well outside my comfort zone, I'm hosting a weekly Twitter chat. It will no doubt have a physics education slant to it, but all educators are welcome to participate, even if you haven't read the book.

The chat will be on Mondays from 8-9 pm EST until October 4. The current plan is to look at 2 chapters per week to begin with, moving to 1 chapter per week for part III. We'll use the questions at the end of each chapter as a starting point for discussion. 

I'll post, from my Twitter profile, a new question about every 10-15 minutes or so. We use the Q# / A# format. Remember to include #Grade4EqChat somewhere in your tweet so others will find it.

TDSB teachers can access the book and in print through the Virtual Library. For Ontario teachers, it is available online through the OCT library. For teachers elsewhere, check and see if it is available through your board or district or professional organization.
