"Instead of giving a grade, I use the Artifact Feedback tool to collaborate with students to discuss my observations. This makes the artifact feedback meaningful and growth-oriented." Jolene Z and Edward Vogel, M.A. English; M.F.A. Writing #TG2Chat ctt.ec/92c67+

Jolene and I are talking about how educators can make curriculum meaningful beyond rote memorization, join us with the hashtag: #TG2Chat

A1 Sometimes, de-emphasizing grades makes me feel like I'm holding a lightning rod & using it to poke any number of bears of varying ages. Once the initial panic subsides, rewarding dialogues often ensue. #tg2chat

Seeing students succeed in something more than rote memorization. Watching students become autodidacts makes me feel as though they are ready for the fast-changing job market of the future. #tg2chat

This tweet feels personal to me. #tg2chat

One of the many reasons I am blessed to work with individuals who are not afraid to throw out the old and try the new. #tg2chat #questforward

Building bridges between educators who want more than grades, memorization, and test scores. #tg2chat

Narrative comments are a great way to give feedback instead of grades. Let them know they won't receive grades when they are out of school, they will receive feedback. It is intended to curate growth and development! #tg2chat

To talk about strengths and weaknesses and to know that, many times, proficiency takes many attempts. It isn't about passing or failing, it is about getting better and not repeating mistakes. #tg2chat

I learned a lot tonight. Thank you to everyone who participated! #tg2chat
