this is BEAUTIFUL! making sure to ping @Bali_Maha @MiaZamoraPhD and @CTL_UT for this powerful essay A WOMANIST APPROACH TO CARE-FULL FEEDBACK by @ameenalpayne and @JanMcArthur teachersgoinggradeless.com/b… thank you, @TG2Chat!!!
📣NEW POST!!! @ameenalpayne & @JanMcArthur assert that neither assessment nor learning are neutral or benign practices. Care-full feedback aims to contest societal stereotypes, microaggressions, and Othering imposed on marginalized students. @tg2chat ctt.ec/rS6bF+
