Pat, I've felt the same. Realizing mywhole identity is wrapped up in being
a teacher and making a difference. I have loved volunteering on an ongoing
basis in 4 classrooms where the teachers know me and my work and value
having me there to really help - not just doing stuff. I work with
Put Thinking To The Test by Lori Conrad, Missy Mathews, Cheryl Zimmerman and
Patrick Allen is another great source for thinking through a test, and Sally
they actually use tests as a genre. It is an excellent book that came from the
work that Lucy Calkins did.
