There are only 2 problems 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. (Because the kind of learning tests are designed to assess isn't really about understanding.)

My syllabus looks so good, thanks to Christina Katopodis, PhD and Cate Denial.💜Everyone should take the 10-Day Syllabus Challenge and read Cate's new book!

Sssshh...here's a sneak preview of our 10th anniversary Futures Initiative Looking ahead (of course) not back: Futures of Teaching (Sep 23),Futures of Research (Nov 4), Futures of the Planet, Earth Day (April 24, 2025), Futures of Higher Ed (May 8).

I'm so thrilled that this chapter is now out in the world! Looking for music in Emerson forever changed the way I read him, and I'm excited to share this way of reading w/others. Honored to be in the same volume among scholars I've long admired! academic.oup.com/edited-volume/…

Friends who do #ungrading! Chime in!

Friends who do #ungrading, have we created a Facebook group, Slack channel, or something else for real-time community throughout the semester? Because if we have, then I want in! And if we haven't yet, I'm plotting...

Yes to this! I also stopped my email notifications on my phone so I have to actually go into my email app to check it (and that's on me), rather than get interrupted every time I receive an email. It's easier to unplug!

I've enjoyed this "challenge" -- it's helping me to perfect the voice I want to use in my classroom this next year. Today's discussion of restorative justice + assessment methods has been my favourite takeaway so far! I'm always so moved when educators help other educators.

Congratulations to Futures Initiative on a stunning, inspiring annual report! Brava to all who made this! I am so honored to be on this team of amazing people. adashima Cathy Davidson Shelly Eversley

Yay! The New College Classroom, coauthored with the amazing Cathy Davidson, is now available in paperback! Just in time for the semester. So delighted to receive these in the mail and to see Danica Savonick & Margaret Fuller Society on the back cover! Harvard University Press

Christina Katopodis, PhD "Instead of replicating a majority-White professoriate, we can guide students through one of the most empow-ering, rigorous, & difficult intellectual processes of all: self-evaluation, a humanistic analysisthat begins & ends with their self-knowledge & ex-pertise" Katopodis).

Emerson is oft associated w/Transparent Eyeball & the visual. A less explored sense is his listening in nature. Check out my new chapter, "The 'Mute Music' in Emerson's Polarity," pub. in Oxford University Press Handbook on Emerson, ed. Chris Hanlon to learn more! bit.ly/47kLeeF
