Machinery of Achievement | Pav Wander | Acceptable Alternatives

In Don't @ Me (3:48), Tom opens this week with a reminder that educators have more influence and control over the machinery of student achievement than some might think. Then, Tom is joined by teacher and podcast co-host Pav Wander (17:43) for a conversation about teacher-voice.  Finally, in Assessment Corner (1:00:30), Tom focuses on the importance of acceptable alternatives in assessment and grading reform.   Pav on Twitter: @PavWander Staffroom Podcast on Twitter: @StaffPodcast Staffroom Podcast on Instagram: @the_staff_room_podcast Staffroom Podcast on Facebook: The Staffroom Podcast Staffroom Podcast on Linkedin: The Staffroom Podcast Website: www.cheyandpav.com   12for12 Challenge (50th Episode) (1) Post a picture on Twitter, Instagram (NOT IG story b/c those disappear), or Facebook OR a video on TikTok (yes, the podcast is on TikTok) of what you typically do while listening to the podcast.
