Although my teacher brain never turns off, rarely do I decide to sit and write those thoughts out.
What is different about this morning?
You got me...
The culture in my classroom of late has been one of feedback and continuous improvement. That has been transformational since I'm getting buy in from so many students. Working on a couple of small projects involving media (one hand drawn, the other a combination of two electronic) the biology students have sought out feedback in the process of their progress.
Seems like what they ought be doing, doesn't it. But in the past, I have to admit that it wasn't the case. They feedback would have come in the form of some static, lifeless grade.
The cool thing now, is that a cultural realization has been happening. Students from all over the academic spectrum are asking for feedback. They want their product to be amazing. Students are not settling for good enough.
