Jeremy Lin's Evolution - NYTimes.com - 1 views

  •  
    This is an excellent article on how Jeremy Lin worked to become a starter with the Knicks. He has excellent feedback from coaches, he failed multiple times, he learned from the failure and he continues to learn and improve. The feedback that he received was amazing. As educators, we can definitely learn from this example.

To Reassess (or, how to make more work for me) | Continuous Everywhere but Differentiab... - 0 views

  • 1) students waited too long to do it. I put an approximate 2-week limit (after returning tests) to re-assess. Students waited until almost the last day just to notify me of their intent to re-assess. The longer they waited the worse they did.
  • The good news this year, though, was that re-assessment didn’t take over all of my time like I thought it would. It took extra time, sure, but it was manageable. One of my projects this summer is to make a bank of more questions for assessment.
  • As for re-assessing, my biggest surprise was that many students chose NOT to re-assess! (this is honors, too!). I think back, even last year when I had a lazy group and grades were low. There I was agonizing about why, why, why, and what could I do to improve the grades….what I discovered is that I agonized over it far more than they did. The ones who didn’t re-assess accepted their grades. The ball was in their court, and they didn’t play. And I didn’t have to agonize over anything this year. So I guess it balances out — more time for me to do re-assessment, less time I spend agonizing over grades. I’ll take it.
