@jochantee23 I found reading a book about writing a dissertation helpful. Even if I didn’t follow the exact same process, having someone break down the process step-by-step got my writing mindset into flow!

[Sarah Beach @beach_the_teach]

As an assessment researcher, having a student exclaim “This was fun!” at the end of a final made my assessment dreams come true. So proud of our students and so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to co-teach with @JV_Forrester! What an amazing semester.

[Jessica Forrester @JV_Forrester]

“Final exam” is complete. So proud of my EDLF 3000 students and how amazing they did during their poster session. AND beyond grateful for the best thought partner and co-instructor I could ask for @beach_the_teach @UVAEdu

[Sarah Beach @beach_the_teach]
