38. Curriculum Series #2—Developing a Course-Long Rubric
It's important to allow students practice skills repeatedly throughout the school year and from grade to grade; Having the same rubric for each project, unit, classroom and grade, creates an understanding to the student that this is how projects will be assessed without having to re-instruct how they will be graded each time. This is a preview of what I'm sharing in the second episode of my Curriculum Development Mini-Series. Learn more about rubric design and how I break down what a mastery-based rubric looks like by following along. Don't forget to check out my Blog post too! Liked this episode? Rate, review, and share!

34. Teaching Poetry? Take Away the Rules with Dr. John Littlewolf
In this episode we are discussing how to take away the rules for creative writing. So many kids may not like writing because we put writing in a box, follow these rules, these prompts, etc. There is no celebration of life or emotions which makes it hard for them to connect to the writing. In John's experience, he advocates for making mindset shifts to experience emotion in pure form and transmit those emotions to activism. John also reads some of his own poetry and experiences the emotions in his own writing. Such a powerful episode!
