I had previously considered getting feedback after this process and decided to do so (and am glad I did!). I built on your questions as the basis of the feedback; the results are nearly…Read more

Thanks for sharing your assessments and to reconnecting us with @mmurray. I am sure that you’re also talking to @brenthurley too. You should check out his work, and that of @danielleganley.

I am wondering about what this looks like behind-the-scenes for the students. Have you given any thought to collecting…Read more

What a great reflection on assessment – sustainability is something that has been explored in the past. I encourage you to check out or get in touch with @brenthurley and @danielleganley who are gurus of assessment and their action plans are amazing – and still on-the-go!

What a powerful lens through which to look at learning in your classroom. I believe that at its core education is relational – sharing of who people are. Reading and writing are two powerful ways of building that relationship, while learning more about each other, and about…Read more

Empathy and vulnerability are a burgeoning area of exploration. In fact, this was a big emphasis at the NAIS conference that I attended in March.
