I think all departments need to think about carving out even 15 minutes of departmental meeting time to give faculty a chance to share what they are doing in their classrooms. It could be focused – so, for example, one meeting we could focus on what you are…[Read more]

I think this truly sums up the intent of this thread. I want to also underline that I think it takes a classroom community to do all of this. It can be helpful for teachers to share a bit of their process with students as they grow – not only to share the mindset experience but also to suggest that none of this can…[Read more]

For example, when we think about ungrading, it can be challenging to move away from grading and assessment the way it has always been done. As well, I wonder how often the larger…[Read more]

There is now a built-in AI feature that creates a summary of your video and provides a transcript. However, I don’t think it has the same capability of allowing students to easily respond in kind as Flip does.

Reminding students that we all have our own stories to tell – and getting them to share them as part of the learning process can help students engage with content and positively affect the learning community in the classroom.

Sometimes, students feel like they are only there to take in information, but reminding them that learning in a…[Read more]

For me, I continue to try to shift the focus from a letter or number back to the objectives, process, and personal reflection on learning. There are some interesting resources on the Open Lab that you might find helpful, too.

If you have any examples of any of the work your students have done on the Open Lab (or other places) and are willing to share, it would be interesting to see!

In this context, it could be helpful to have students learn not only about how to develop and follow through on achievable goals, but also to have students understand the science of setting goals – basically the research that supports the use of goal setting to increase motivation and more.

I also wonder…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing this. I love the use of “yet” as it allows students to know that they will be able to get to a specific point as part of a growth-minded process.

I am wondering about the use of the word good in this context. Does it send the message that the student is bad at math or English?

Perhaps we can have students…[Read more]
