55 – My Assessment Story: the rise of Natalie the grade grubber

Brene Brown says, "When we deny our stories, they define us. When we own them, we can write a brave new ending." Natalie's work in assessment, in many ways, has been her way of writing a "brave new ending" to her own experiences in school. In this episode, she comes to you solo to share how she broke free from perfectionism and a need for external validation to finally find her voice. 

Show Notes:

• A bold decision following the first failure on an assessment called the Mad Minute. 
• "Did you ace it?"
• The dark side of grade grubbing. 
• An optimistic new beginning, and a devastating resurgence.
