These actions lead to self-defeat, denial of responsability, high stress, frustration, inability to adapt, and yielding quickly to defeat.

Assessment for learning begins when teachers share achievement targets with students, presenting those expectations in student-friendly language accompanied by examples of exemplary student’s work.

We must abandon the limiting belief that adults represent the most important assessment consumers or data-based decision makers in schools.
