I feel like we need to step back from trying to cover every single little detail and focus more on the student and what they need to conquer to be successful in the future.]]> 2019-06-05 12:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/p0039071/gradeless/wish/365828822 https://padlet.com/p0039071/gradeless/wish/365829209 Learning as a continual process towards mastery aided by feedback instead of “one and done” testing]]> 2019-06-05 12:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/p0039071/gradeless/wish/365829209 https://padlet.com/p0039071/gradeless/wish/365829408 Not putting a mark on a student, but instead focusing on learning.  Allowing students to see the importance of learning, and taking the pressure off of results. They can focus on their own learning vs. comparing themselves to others. ]]> 2019-06-05 12:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/p0039071/gradeless/wish/365829408
