The Tyranny of the Score How to Truly Measure Holistic Student Growth

Do you feel like a single test score fails to capture your students' true potential? You're not alone! This episode dives straight into the limitations of traditional assessment models and explores groundbreaking, actionable strategies to measure the whole child—not just the percentile. Discover three key ways to redefine success in your classroom: 1) Implement soft skill rubrics to formally grade critical thinking and collaboration alongside content; 2) Celebrate the learning journey by using digital portfolios and growth narratives to show progress and effort over fixed outcomes; and 3) Utilize high-quality formative feedback as a primary metric to focus on "not yet" status and growth mindset. It’s time to look past memorization and value the messy, vital process of learning. Don't let your students' unique talents go unseen! Choose to see their potential, not just their performance.
