I got paid the highest compliment one can get from a fellow teacher after my presentation at ISTE Unplugged.
"I know I’ll be changing some of my teaching decisions." Tom Grant
After reading many posts on standards based grading, it seems clear to me that I too need to change my assessment practices. I need to ensure that I have mastery from my students, rather than a superficial level of understanding. I also need to do more to engage my students with more problems which are relevant to their lives.
I need to rethink my practices. Hopefully, that will always be true. Keeping my teaching practices completely static in a changing world seems like a pretty foolish thing to do.
