As a teacher, it is your job to make explicit whatever you though was implicit

Assessment is today's means of modifying tomorrow's instruction.

Teachers craft classrooms that are good matches for their teaching styles as well as for learner needs.

The high stakes test culture runs almost totally counter to what we know about how people learn. It causes us to engage in professional malpractice on a regular basis.

Important element is deeply understanding our curriculum. Most teachers know what they're going to cover this week or this term. Few of us can specify precisely what students should know, understand, and be able to do as a result of any particular learning experience or set of learning experiences. Without that specificity, alignment between content, assessment, and instruction is weak.

We have students at the university say on a regular basis, "You're asking us to think and no one has ever done that in school."

The central job of schools is to maximize the capacity of each students.
