I think two types of communities were being built this week...one out of paper and the other between students. Thanks @CourtneyPfizen4 for bringing your 8th graders to help with this project. We loved having you! #Lincoln379 #USD379

The teacher that dies with the most awesome lessons doesn't win. Share your resources and get resources from others. Kids win.

We used this modified Kanban chart to help participants during work time. I was able to meet learners where they were at and support them on their next steps. How do you see yourself using this to support your learners during work time in a project? #pbl @PBLWorks

Sometimes, kids make bad choices. Sometimes, they really screw up. We hold them accountable... but we can also extend some grace. They need to know we still like them. They need to learn a lesson... but it is never constructive when they feel alienated from us.

Grading Practices That Discourage Growth Mindset:

1. Deducting points for late work
2. Not allowing retakes
3. Allowing retakes but averaging the attempts
4. Grading for accuracy on 1st attempt.
