This is a terrible story--both because of the trap that was set (either in advance or ret-conned to seize a moment) for this graduate student but also because the student's department failed her. The 1st problem is easy to see, but I want to explain the 2nd one. 1/x

Hard to believe the semester is almost over! Our exit ticket today in Achievement Motivation was to make a mind map of everything we learned this semester. They only had 20 minutes and didn't finish yet, but I loved this activity and wanted to share them. 😍 @zachbaquet.bsky.social 1/4

🍎 Tuesday Teaching Tip (T3):

Promoting autonomy in thinking!
Ask students to explain their reasoning, compare ideas, & explore multiple approaches.

A simple shift from, β€œWhat do you choose?” to β€œHow are you thinking about this?” can build deeper engagement and independent learning ✨
