One of my favourite quotes from @AdamMGrant!
Change is often emotional. I find this especially true when rethinking assessment & grading practices.
It's not about shame or blame but about understanding the range of reactions as you cultivate a new paradigm within your context.

🏫 #Schools don't become "#inclusive schools" by #learning strategies and implementing programs. They become inclusive because the people are collaborative, caring, innovators who make it work for each #student. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #TeacherTwitter

📊 #Assessment is necessary for good teaching. #Grading is not. Dialoguing with, listening to, and observing #students are often our best #assessment. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter

🔍 Not completing homework is not proof of insufficient learning. Thus, missing homework shouldn't be recorded as a zero—it's simply missing data. Better, don't grade homework at all. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter

In 1912 we knew that grading practices were UNRELIABLE! So why do they persist over 100 years later!

Saw this during my classroom walkthroughs today. Would be so cool if students saw this before entering every classroom in every school. Now that is what I call a Culturized classroom. #Culturize
Even better - every building should have it for very staff member as well.

So good!
The simple but effective #AI "Traffic Light" concept was developed by @SamMormando and shared more recently by @ajjuliani. I threw together a simplified visual for teacher use - love it.
