This video talks about learning to skateboard, and learning in schools. Skateboarding has authentic assessment, in that it has real-time meaningful feedback. Students don't need a teacher to tell them whether or not they are doing it right. The concrete makes that message plain. He has some wonderful points, and these are my favorites:
- Failure is normal. Failure isn't stigmatized.
- Nobody knows ahead of time how long it takes anyone to learn anything.
- Work your ass off until you figure it out.
- Learning is NOT fun
