@dibgore@RutgersAltRoute I love that idea. There would be so many stories to share about a project that didn't work out: what went wrong? What went right? What will you do next?
@RutgersAltRoute And, this will be controversial - I am very flexible with assessment deadlines. No deductions for late work. I want to give kids the time they need to demonstrate understanding and growth (lower stakes, not punitive or grade-focused). #TeacherEd#GrowthMindset
@RutgersAltRoute I also build in reflection time where I ask students to pause and look at the feedback I provided on previous assessments. I want students to understand that the feedback I provide is designed to help them build on their successes and to learn from mistakes. It's a journey!
