Education X Posts Featured in This Episode:

Emily asks: Do you provide time for students to reflect on their learning after a lesson or unit? If so, what strategies do you use? I look at some responses.

I recall a George Couros suggestion about giving educators time to write and blog about their professional learning.

Susan Jachymiak shouts out the Unsupervised Leadership podcast, so I take a quick look at the work they're doing on their website.

Dr. Josh Kunnath decries the practice of using grades to penalize students for behavior, attendance, or missing assignments. We're no longer assessing learning in those cases.

Natalie Vardabasso encourages educators to use accommodations to uncover student strengths despite deficits.

Jeremy Jorgensen reminds us to integrate student writing into everything we do. If students can write well, they can think well.

Jeremy also points to the power of walking as a reflective act. Walking = medicine.

Chey Cheney points out that students are not robotic rule-following practitioners: we learn, we observe, we implement, refine, and tweak according to the unique needs of our learners and their environment.
