I don’t have time to learn this…
How will I ever…?
I have to “cover” the curriculum…
How will I assess what they learned?

Accept a learning curve…
Practice, practice, practice
Try this…
Teach, summarize, review, make
your “curriculum” visible…
Embed formative assessment…
Involve students in documenting…
Use documentation as an
assessment “for” and “as” learning
Make it a habit…

Tips
Make it easy for your students to document!
