Welcome to Saturday Morning Teacher Talk, airing LIVE on YouTube every Saturday morning at 8:30 Pacific and 11:30! Join the conversation and add your comments to the broadcast.

MAKING NEWS on X THIS WEEK:

In this edition:

Bill Ferriter says that "Giving zeros is one of the most unprofessional actions a teacher can take." Do you agree or disagree?

Tom Schimmer suggests that opposition to standards-based grading really comes from teacher desire to coerce students into compliant behavior. Agree or disagree?

What makes feedback powerful? Trevor MacKenzie shares a must-have list.

Howie Hua allows his students to chat with each other for five minutes before their tests - no writing aloud.

From Todd Finley (via TCEA) shares 13 Brain Blast Review Activities. If you've reached the end of a unit of study and you're looking to consolidate student learning, check out this menu.

Marcus Luther shares a self-assessment that he uses in his high school writing courses that makes great use of the Google Doc drop-down features. How do students assess their own evidence of learning and why?

Marcus Luther lists three must-haves that must be present in order to help teachers adopt new practices or strategies.

Bethany Hill argues that "Recess is a right, not a privilege. It is instructional time, not something extra. Every kid deserves recess. Every single one."

Technology Laura shares her top 10 edtech tools. Is there an app on this list that is new to you?

Paul Cardoza (live viewer on LinkedIn) asks: Is it a problem that some schools seem to be focusing more on social-emotional learning than on academics? I share some thoughts on this.
