Education X Posts Featured in This Episode:

Howie Hua shares about a student self-reflection activity that he bookends at the beginning and end of his Math courses, starting with students posing in a photo frame that says "I Am a Math Person."

Natalie Vardabasso reminds us of the True North of assessment: accurate grades = confident learners.

Melissa D argues that if an assessment doesn't inform your teaching practice or your students' learning, there's no point in giving it.

Lynnette Earle writes that IEPs simply confirm and validate the info that effective teachers already know about their learners.

When it comes to AI tools in the classroom, Chey Cheney talks about modelling, demonstrating, being purposeful, transparent, and open.

Kyle Niemis from Quizizz encourages teachers to consider installing the Quizizz Chrome extension, which makes YouTube-to-quiz even faster and easier than it was.

A quick update on my holiday publishing schedule: I will record on December 16th, and then I'll be back to it on January 13th.
