Remember, our goal today is to create a shared voice around the RSS Grading Mindset to share with our community. We encourage you to share your thoughts with the community as well by posting on socials using #RSSGradingMindset. en-us 2021-04-07 15:05:03 UTC 2021-04-07 18:56:54 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-uploads.storage.googleapis.com/13863500/0aea3f85554692d15dacb60339171014/Grading_Mindset_Padlet_Logo.png https://padlet.com/glennrr/rssgradingmindset3/wish/1392925692 The biggest takeaway I have is that we have all had our best responses to education when feedback was given from a teacher who made personal connections to us. Being friendly and being aware of the passions and feelings of the students lead to the most effective feedback on students. Our entire group said something similar
