If you’re not following her yet, you should. Her heart is truly to encourage, equip, & empower people. @DardiChristine Bonus: She follows back.

Google Classroom users make a copy of alicekeeler.com/reusegc to get lists of all your old assignments from multiple previous classes. Easy to reuse more than one at a time.

When I made the leap from a grading-centered classroom to a learning-centered classroom, I had to change much, including my beliefs (and kids' and parents' beliefs) about learning. Still wondering about and wandering along this path. With grades gone, how would I go on?
