Episode 158 Empathic Assessment…Starring Liz Jorgensen

Liz Jorgensen is an all star high school English teacher from Wisconsin. Her brand new book Hacking Student Learning Habits just hit Amazon’s virtual shelves. I’m confident that you’ll be inspired to check out this book after listening to this interview. Liz articulates how she utilizes empathy to inspire learning. We also talk a lot about assessment—hence the title of this podcast episode. What I particularly love about Liz is that she’s not self-promotional. She supplies oodles of examples of inspirational tactics from various subjects and grade levels. 

You’ll hear us discuss: 

  • why she decided to write the book
  • her ideas on assessment
  • how to help students thrive
  • inspiring intrinsic motivation
  • student feedback
  • authentic purpose 
  • growth mindset

Just maybe, Liz has an idea that’ll transform your classroom. So sit back and absorb and consider. 

What you can do Tomorrow: 

  1. Take one idea from this interview and implement it tomorrow.
  2. Check out Liz’s book on Amazon.

As teachers, we often promote that our students assume a growth mindset. Let’s practice what we preach. Take one of Liz’s ideas and grow as an educator.
