This is why the responses to the first question were so intriguing to me. By making the evidence of learning visible to students, you create at the same time a history that they can later reference. The proof that they *can* succeed is already there. #EduInFocus - ThreadSky

Agreed. I don't think I realized for a long time how important it was that students could make sense of their data well enough to see growth. It required me to keep records a bit differently than is traditionally done, but it made such a difference.

Oh, can you explain a bit more about the differences in data keeping? My guess is that there are nuances that aren't obvious. #EduInFocus

In essence, I group student data by learning outcomes. Previously, I would just list the assignments by date, but it didn't show trends in specific skills. Now I group them by skills first and then by date. Here's the template I use (anyone can copy): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BjeYt7PKcYoGfKZHOrxxkLW8VoY-HA2QmdUymXK3pT8/edit?usp=sharing

Yes, I wonder if something that sits under this question is the question of learner identity and the role that plays in motivation and engagement.

That's unavoidable, I think, since identity touches upon everything a person does (or believes themselves capable of doing). #EduInFocus
