When you say test, I think of stress

I LOVED the video.

emotion, movement, ideas, sensation, memory

From a psychotherapist’s perspective, this tracks really nicely with research around intrinsic motivation and values-based approaches in psychotherapy

this makes me think of how experiential models in psychotherapy (emotionally-focused therapy, somatic or mindfulness interventions, etc.) take root in people's psyches faster (as observed by behavioral change outcomes) and tend to persist longer than purely cognitively-focused interventions.

Love these examples of student voice/choice in assessments! My district is currently running PD sessions for teacher leaders across the district to increase buy-in for their personalized learning initiative. Student choice in crafting assessments is a great example of personalization of learning!

Are the recordings from Chew and Chat available for participants?

Yes! session recordings will be made available to participants.

Can you also email the session from June 15th? I was unable to attend that one.

So helpful as a way to give me a sense of what's going on for my student-clients!

Thank you for an informative meeting.
