ALT Student celebrating.

ALT "I leave highlighters next to the turn-in bin. Students highlight their name when they turn in assignments: green if they feel very confident they did well, yellow if they think they mostly have it, and orange if they really struggled. It's a self-assessment, and there are fewer papers missing names." —Teacher Phoenix Moony

ALT “Hard conversations don’t have to be mean conversations. They don’t have to take on a detached or authoritarian tone. Holding people to their greatness is perhaps one of the most loving actions we can take. Real accountability isn’t a ‘gotcha.’ It’s an ‘I see you.’” —Amy Fast, Principal
