Welcome to Jewels of Teaching!
I'm Jewels and I am here to help you with creating more effective and efficient feedback in your classroom without it taking over your life.
I strive to make this nearly impossible job of teaching, a little more possible.
Student and Teacher Feedback are the foundations for having sustainable writing improvements whether it be peer-to-peer, self-evaluation, or conferences to save time and make sure students receive your direct feedback. These resources help you build the community and initial understandings of effective student feedback and peer review while also lending resources for students to use directly.
Learn how to organize your classroom, organize your grading/planning, and teach your students how to organize for academic planning. Make your time more efficient and effective, so you bring less (or preferably no) work home with you at the end of the day.
