Chrik Sarkonak | Season 2, Episode 3

In this episode, we sit down with Chris Sarkonak to explore how assessment, grading, and student learning are shaped by systems that do not always reflect what students actually know or can do. Chris argues for a more honest approach to assessment, one that pays closer attention to growth, meaningful feedback, and the ways students demonstrate learning over time. He also highlights the value of student agency and classrooms that support curiosity rather than anxiety, suggesting that stronger assessment practices can better reflect the real learning taking place.
