Hacking Assessments TR is joined by Starr Sackstein to talk about how teachers can authentically innovate and disrupt in the realm of assessment

Students deserve humane learning environments and a big part of that is the way we assess. We have an obligation to do better. We must stop labeling learning. Grades hurt learning and the students who endure systems that rate & rank them. We must do better.

I used to record my class all the time but got student permission since we were in a journalism school. Kids signed waivers.

Twitter was like that when I first started on there. I loved it and why I love Bluesky now- it feels real again.

I have always agreed with that, I mean.

I have always agreed with us. Many of us don’t set out to be an influencer but find ourselves there and must be fair and honest with that power and grounded.

That would bother me too.

Yup. All of that is in there with lots of interaction. Was just hoping to share thoughts from not just me but adding some diverse perspectives

Agreed. Lots of unintended consequences

That would be awesome. If you or anyone else consider themselves an #eduinfluencer what advice would you share with future educators?

I’m not warning them necessarily. We will talk dos and don’ts and ethical implications but also the power of being a voice in he field.

I have the opportunity to present to HS students about what it means to be an #eduinfluencer. What do you think is the most important function? And who are your favorite influencers? #edusky
