If you're looking for a short listen about things you can do to shift your current assessment practices to honor the dignity of all students, check out my conversation with Vicki Davis, the CoolCat Teacher.
My latest book Assessing With Respect: Everyday Practices That Meet Students' Social and Emotional Needs addresses the intersection of social-emotional learning and our assessment practices. It is incumbent upon school systems to recognize the depth of students as human beings and start shifting our processes to ensure we are working from places of strength instead of deficits.
Have a listen and let me know what you think!
