Shifting Schools: Conversations for K12 Educators

Welcome back to a new episode and season 4 of Shifting Our Schools. Excited to be back at the microphone sharing my thoughts, trainings, webinars, and conversations with all of you. We kick off season 4 with an email I wrote to a State Department of Education when asked my opinion on attendance policies in remote learning.

Tyler Rablin a High School ELA teacher and Tech Coach shares with us his grade book and assessment practices as he moved from a traditional way of grading to a mastery way of grading. This is the recording of a free webinar that Tyler gave as part of the ReImagine WA Ed program we have just wrapped up across the state of Washington. Titled: Meaningful Assessment: Grading for the Future, Tyler walks us through how you can rethink your grading and assessment practices to align with today’s best practices.
