Tired of students asking, "What did I get?" after every assignment? What if they asked, "How did I grow?" instead?

In this solo episode, I share a powerful reflection conversation with one of my students after his seventh real-world presentation of the day during Exhibition. Rather than assigning a grade, we walk through a rubric he co-created, debating scores, celebrating growth, and co-constructing the path forward. This isn't just assessment—it's transformation.

You'll learn:

• Why co-created rubrics lead to more authentic assessment

• How self-assessment builds ownership, metacognition, and accountability

• Five clear steps to make self-assessment part of your class culture

• How to use assessment to support reflection, not just justify scores

If you're ready to replace grading battles with growth conversations, this episode gives you the tools to get started.
