Most teachers finish the year thinking, “Next year will be better," but without reflection, we recreate the same chaos.

In Ep. 15 of Assess THAT, we discuss a 5-question #assessment audit to end the year with clarity.

Here's a good self-reflection question about your FEEDBACK practices.

Is my feedback a set of directions or does my feedback cause thinking?

Feedback in the form of a cue, question, prompt, or highlight is often most favorable in the long run.
