  Every kid needs a champion | Rita Pierson Question Please express your reflection on wheat Rita Pearson said.   7Cs Survey The student-perception survey (or 7 Cs Survey) was originally created and refined at Harvard University by Dr. Ron Ferguson. Tailored for grade levels K-2, 3-5 and 6-12, the surveys helped assess teachers’ content knowledge, pedagogy, and relationship-building skills. They allowed students to assess their classroom experience with each teacher across 7 dimensions.  Thus, the ‘Seven Cs’ Surveys, administered through Cambridge Education, measured “what teachers do (what students experience).” I have adapted the survey to measure the impact that online/remote/asynchronous (non-recorded) instruction has had on students.  The seven Cs’ are: 1.  Caring about students (Encouragement and emotional support) 2.  Captivating students (Learning seems interesting and relevant) 3.  Conferring with students (Students sense th...

Gabe I think Gabe did a great job teaching the class about the importance of breathing and exercise. He taught his lesson super confidently and provided the class with very important information. I enjoyed his videos on breathing exercises and r...
