Next Episode
In this bonus episode, I delve deeper into transformative approaches to feedback and assessment in education. Building on my conversation with Tyler Rablin (S4E13), I share crucial insights from my recent experiences coaching middle school teachers and explore why less is often more when it comes to student feedback. I challenge traditional notions of mastery-based assessment, advocating instead for a growth-focused approach that recognizes each student's unique learning journey.
Drawing from respected educational research and my hands-on coaching experience, l discuss why formative assessment should be viewed as an ongoing action rather than a mere task. I explore practical strategies for making feedback more meaningful and share a powerful story about co-teaching and student self-assessment.
