Q4: What are some barriers to empathy and how can we overcome them?
#cdnedchat

A4. We have to be consistent in how we uphold the worth of Ss. If Ss don’t believe we care, they will not respond to us

Assessment is a form of empathy. Feedback is a way to show how we care, and that we desire Ss to excel as learners

A4. When Ss only see the surface of the problems and not understand the system or underlying causes. Harder to empathize
#cdnedchat

Yes: when we provide Ss an opportunity to respond to a rubric, to increase learning, we change the nature of assessment
