The purpose of assessment should be to help students SHINE: to showcase learning, brilliance, & criticality (Gholdy Muhammad); to elevate their voices & engage in public reflection. It should NOT be to sort, classify, categorize, marginalize, shame, or otherwise diminish their humanity.

Puppets were one of many ways that our G2 Ss took #action to share and celebrate their understanding of #structure, #connection, and #perspective in our #HWEO unit. Grateful to have our parents back on campus to see our retelling of Strega Nona from an Ethiopian perspective!
