Beat the Teacher Illusion

Your students are totally lying to you when they nod their heads. We call this the

Teacher Illusion. You feel like a legend delivering a crisp lesson, but the only thing

they actually understood was the lunch bell. Formative assessment is not a scary test or a grade.

It is just a quick vibe check to see if they are actually with you. Like that algebra

teacher whose students took diligent notes but still thought x was zero. Stop relying on

hope. Check the pulse right now so you can fix the confusion before it becomes

a disaster on the final exam.
