Feedback is the key to improvement! Students don't need grades to learn; teachers don't need grades to teach. Remember, not all feedback has to be epic so "quality vs quantity" can be a good mantra to keep in mind. Good luck and thanks for sharing! #GFIO #ATAssessment

... also a way to learn and move on from our mistakes.

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

One of the most powerful & humanizing ways to teach our students the importance of empathy, understanding & forgiveness is for adults to apologize when they've made a mistake.

It's in our moments of weakness we find true strength.
