Dear Colleagues:
Happy Summer! This will be the final Monday Musings of the 2018-19 academic year. The three of us have enjoyed creating a weekly forum in which we hope you were able to find articles of interest. Our goal was to create a space for contemplation on a variety of education related topics and to continue to learn as educators.
For this final MM, we want to hit on some nuts and bolts related to comment writing and end-of-year grading (e.g., LC style rules for comments; how to set time limits for grading) and touch on bigger picture items (e.g., how to incorporate growth mindset terms/philosophy into one's comments). We hope that your students were able to demonstrate by the end of exams a deeper understanding of the content, concepts, and big ideas of the spring term.
Have a wonderful summer full of friends, family, frequent laughs, and fabulous reads.
Best,
Sara, Rachel, and Harrison
