Trying to find the right balance with retakes? ⚖️

These strategies from @sarahmorris.bsky.social let your students show what they know—and keep you from grading too many exams.

My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother

One of my latest hand-quilted goodies. When my brain ain’t 💨 on research, my hands are 🔥 through stitching! #quiltsky

I have a project for work I am fairly behind on (in my standards), and last night I had a thought I would just crack open my laptop and work on it after dinner — had to shake the “grad school 14-hour-days” right off of me QUICK 🤣

Just got done with the first student focus group interview for one of my dissertation chapters. 🥹👏🏻

It’s no secret researching 9th Gs is part of “my thing.”…but y’all……don’t underestimate ninth-grade students! They are brilliant! And wise! And thoughtful! So much insight!🥹

Nice to step away from my computer for a few hours today and attend a hand stand workshop. I’ve got lofty goals for arm balances galore, but hand stand has always just been a big fear!

Now — back to work 🤪

Hi!! I’m Sarah, a 3rd yr PhD candidate in education reform, and I research grading practices (broadly). Would love to chat about grading with you!!

As a former teacher, I am also a writer for the WeAreTeachers blog.
