🎉 It’s TBT – Thinkback Thursday! 🎉 This Thinkback Thursday, we’re revisiting a powerful blog post that challenges us to reframe how we view student work. Instead of seeing mistakes as roadblocks, let’s use them as entry points for learning—building on students’ reasoning, identifying strengths, and making connections that move understanding forward. Read the full post to explore: ☑️ How to analyze student work beyond right and wrong ☑️ Ways to build on students’ existing strategies for deeper learning ☑️ A real example of turning a “failing” worksheet into a launchpad for success When we focus too much on what students get wrong, we miss valuable insights into what they already know and can do! 📖 Read more at knowim.org/wronganswers. #ThinkbackThursday #IMxBlog #WrongAnswers #LearnWithIM
