This week in planning meetings: Our @Grecoms teachers are dissecting assessments and discussing IB criteria and rubrics. Looking at what actionable feedback looks like using the stem, “This work could score higher if…”
To help remedy @Grecoms' chronic flooding, four Peace Corps Coverdell Fellows and #USF#engineering students partnered with a local science and technology teacher in Spring 2021 to build a rain garden with students on campus. Read the students report: https://t.co/LAVEeOXbv5
