A reminder to #bced (everyone?) that competencies & content are not a binary choice. Competencies are about thinking, but you have to think about something.
Competencies without content = fluff.
Content without competencies = trivia.
Competencies with content = 21C thinking

🎄[NEW] What if grading had ghosts?
In Ep. 25, @TomSchimmer & @natabasso explore grading through A Christmas Carol, the past that shaped us, the present we’re stuck in, and the future we’re heading toward.

Grades don’t tell the story. Assessment does.

🎁 [NEW] Grading is emotional, identity-laden, and challenging to change.
In Ep. 25 (their holiday episode) @TomSchimmer & @natabasso use A Christmas Carol to explore grading past, present, and future, and why assessment, not grades, must lead the way.

Grades don’t tell the story. Assessment does.
We sometimes rush through tasks & assignments, hoping students “get it.”
But UDL reminds us that clarity isn’t speed, it’s design.
So, let's slow down the front end by building clear success criteria and flexible pathways. That’s how assessment accelerates learning, not workload.

Many teachers & administrators think assessment reform starts with changing the gradebook.
But the biggest shifts happen long before anything gets recorded.
So, let's start by changing the conversations in your classroom about what evidence counts, why it matters, and how students can show it. That’s where real transformation begins.

[NEW] Ep 18 focuses on how to assess creativity without killing it. Creativity isn’t a “nice-to-have" but a must-have to drive deeper learning.
