Fulfilling a promise to my 8yo. He’d like to introduce some new characters to @sonic_hedgehog. After drawing Sonic and Tails, he added Fins, Swimmer, Claws, and Chomper. He especially thought Sonic needed some friends who can swim! More in thread…

There are really only two flaws with using tests to assess learning: Right answers often don’t reflect real understanding, and wrong answers often don’t reflect the absence of understanding. (Note that this is true of teacher-designed tests, not just the standardized kind.)

I think about two people going through the woods, one on a timed/high-stakes scavenger hunt, the other out exploring (perhaps with some markers along the way to guide). The first might “win” but will lose out on so much. I wish more students had the chance to explore.

Students are constantly feeling rushed. Before they’re able to master a skill or concept, they get assessed and are told to move on. It leads to high anxiety and a low sense of self worth. We need to worry less about “staying on pace” and care more about depth of understanding.

Came across @DavidRosowsky and @CCAS_Dean's article about re-imagining university structures. Anyone at an institution with a different approach to organizational structure? Any creative ideas to share? #edleaders #highered #edchat #highereducation insidehighered.com/views/202…
This summer I started a new job as associate dean for @SITGrad at @WorldLearning - and it's now official on the website! So far I'm loving this new adventure leading a global campus focused on experiential learning! sit.edu/sit_leadership/laura…
