#2020assessment Learning is not a race but a journey. "Learning Involves Patience and Time" from the First Peoples Principles of Learning. How can we embed Indigenous Ways and Worldviews in our assessment practices? @CAFLNetwork Softening The Edges @KatieWhite426 :)

#2020Assessment Wise assessment practices are relationship based. In a culture of care how can we be responsive to the emotional situations of all when assessing learning? Bring the learner into the process. Assessment embedded in learning. @CAFLNetwork @CowichanSchools

We spoke with Peter Liljedahl back on episode 21 about how he built the components of the thinking classroom and we needed to bring him back on because we only got through a fraction of what we needed to! Dive in: makemathmoments.com/episode9… #iteachmath #MTBoS #mathchat #edchat
