Mr. Malvik @mrmalvikscience.bsky.social · 21/12/2025My takeaway from first semester…it has taken less than 5 years for people to forget what we learned the purpose of in-person school was during the pandemic.

Mr. Malvik @mrmalvikscience.bsky.social · 22/11/2025I’m not sure how effective districts are at implementing such systems, which usually involve opportunities for retakes and abundantly more work for teachers giving feedback and reassessment on summative exams. 020
Mr. Malvik @mrmalvikscience.bsky.social · 22/11/2025From what I understand, Grading for Equity advocates for not placing formative assessments in a mastery-based grading system. Not grading homework/formative assessments doesn’t mean there aren’t regular tests, it just means summative assessments are only ones formally reported on a grade. 110
Mr. Malvik @mrmalvikscience.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Elementary students have an ungodly amount of tech time and lack of productive struggle and free play. My hypothesis is this is tech driven, not grade reporting driven. Free play gives confidence in independent problem solving at young ages. 030
Mr. Malvik @mrmalvikscience.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Worked out solutions always at their finger tips. No coincidence that I have minimal students come ask me for help on really tough HW problems anymore. Often students wait out assignments in class to do it at home, where AI/teach begins to undercut time thinking/processing(no long term retention). 010
Mr. Malvik @mrmalvikscience.bsky.social · 21/11/202526 yrs since I was in HS and my math homework wasn’t graded in HS most of the time, nor was it a significant portion of my grade. I think it’s pretty common for math teachers in higher level math to treat HW this way. The focus on grades as being the causal mechanism for this seems misguided. 120

Mr. Malvik @mrmalvikscience.bsky.social · 01/11/2025#ITeachPhysics Is the practice of mental imagery helpful to learning physics? I have renamed my Physics 1 lectures, “How to draw good” bc I hypothesize that reading word problems often doesn’t form a helpful mental image. Am I right? who knows? But the students laugh at my stick figure masterpieces.newyorker.comSome People Can’t See Mental Images.
