“The minute we separate learning and wellbeing, we lose.”
Contributive Learning
We contribute to the greatest extent when we know who we are, feel connected, and pair knowledge with competency. What would it look like, across school systems globally, if all students learned how to add to the world? Contributive Learning is a new lens for integrating academic and social-emotional learning in everyday instruction.
Making the Important Measurable, Not the Measurable Important
What really matters to you and your students? Chances are, a lot of what you value about your students and their well-being doesn’t feel center stage at all times in their learning. Since school systems prioritize the measured outcomes of learning, a great way to prioritize well-being is to measure it.
Authentic Mixed-Method Assessment
How do you know whether students’ learning is positively impacting their well-being? The answer is in the evidence. Authentic mixed-method assessment (AMMA) is the process of gathering the full range of evidence, both qualitative and quantitative, required to understand levels of progress or development.
At the 2020 [RE]LEARN Online Learning Innovation Festival, Joanne McEachen hosted a session on contributive learning, exploring how self-understanding, connection, knowledge, and competency can all come together in educational contexts to help learners find meaning, success, and fulfillment.
