When that rubric we spent forever wordsmithing made it worse not better. That’s our cue. To step into the simple space of meeting each kid where they are & engaging in the feedback-response cycle. Let go the overly complicated pursuit of proficiency. And get a grip on growth.

Simple step to better today. Instead of imagining the worst, imagine the best.

“We have better problems.” The evolution from the revolution of the feedback cycle. Better problems. How I try to frame the messy magic of making mistakes for my kids as we learn forward with feedback. #Project180

We. Learner AND Teacher. Assessment is simply information about learning and teaching. Maybe we should call it Informative Assessment. My frame to my kids for OUR latest INFORMED intervention.

@carefulvoter Yes. 🙂

@MonteSyrie Maybe I am doing it right then?

Seems I’ll never get used to the ups and downs of teaching, even after 30 years. One day, “I am changing the world.” Next day, “WTF am I even doing?” Yesterday, the latter. Maybe today will be better. Teaching is one long exhausting existential crisis.

Simple step to better today. Find some fun.
