Review of research on grades, w/special emphasis on univ science classes: "At best, grading motivates high-achieving students to continue getting high grades - regardless of whether that goal happens to overlap with learning." And "at worst"? Don't ask...: is.gd/VDiksu

Some of the most inquiry rich schools I connect with have somehow done a magical thing: they have normalized talking about HOW we teach.
Amongst staff there’s trust, openness, reflection, & learning. Teachers are inquirers.
Now just imagine the impact this has on the students.

You can’t overstate the importance of the first 45 minutes of the first day of class.
Students ask:
1. Can I trust you?
2. Is this a safe space?
3. Does my voice/perspective matter?
4. Can I succeed in this class?
5. Do you care about me? #edchat

How to praise like a pro:
- Praise the process, not the person.
- Praise what your child has control over.
- Don’t praise by comparison.
- Beware of praise inflation.
- Rather than praise, offer descriptive feedback.
