Giving students low and no-stakes writing tasks allows them to take risks in order to grow as writers ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ https://t.co/7oGtGKOwVY #writing #teaching #growthmindset #Cohort21

Do you model skills for your students? I didn't, but then I rethought this practice! ๐Ÿ‘ https://t.co/cd1wkXmyCz #growthmindset #teaching #Cohort21

Sometimes, as teachers, we just need change in the classroom. Reimagining the structure of a lesson might satisfy that desired change!๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿซ https://t.co/LqvJk8OXmD #teaching #learning #growthmindset #lessonplanning #cohort21

If you haven't already taken that stack of marking home, have you considered offering feedback before the submission? ๐Ÿ‘ https://t.co/QMHtdvZGaK #teaching #growthmindset #assessment #feedback #marking #Cohort21

It's the first week back after the break; before you hand out that next assignment and set a final submission day, consider an alternative to due dates๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿซ https://t.co/ZZh9Ju6hue #education #teaching #assessment #Cohort21

Have you ever tasked students with an assignment that simply missed the mark? Me too; it was my own version of a Grecian Urn projectโšฑ๏ธ https://t.co/u9ez6zW7Zj Thanks to @cultofpedagogy for the inspiration behind this post! #teaching #assessment #growthmindset #Cohort21

A5: I used to think that formal written feedback needed to be given independent from the learner and now I think that feedback can be given alongside students as they work #Cohort21

A3: Iโ€™m hesitant that the changes Iโ€™m making within my pedagogy wonโ€™t shift studentโ€™s mindsets towards skills and away from marks. Further, it would be a failure if students werenโ€™t able to articulate their individual strengths and next steps #cohort21

A2: Micro-experiments which will move me towards my goal: - video conferencing - self-evaluation of mastery of specific skills - feedback during the writing process rather than after @Catlin_Tucker thanks for this idea; I'm giving it a try! #cohort21

A1: How might we shift student thinking from marks to skills by offering individualized feedback? This matters to me because mastery of skills is what will allow students to be successful both in and out of school #cohort21
