    Check out my FIVE STAR REVIEW of Tyler's book:

    Hacking Student Motivation by Tyler Rablin offers a refreshing perspective on education, challenging traditional grading systems and advocating for a shift towards meaningful learning experiences. Rablin highlights the pitfalls of solely focusing on grades, arguing that it sets students up for failure and undermines their intrinsic motivation to learn. Instead, he proposes practical strategies for educators to design informative grade books and create learning progressions that prioritize skill development over task completion.One of the book's standout features is its emphasis on assessment as a tool for building confidence rather than eroding it. Rablin provides insightful commentary on the importance of quality feedback and offers practical tips for delivering it effectively.Throughout the book, Rablin's passion for empowering students shines through. He encourages educators to rethink their approach to assessment and emphasizes the importance of fostering a learning environment where students feel motivated to engage deeply with the material.Overall, Hacking Student Motivation is a valuable resource for educators seeking to transform their teaching practices and cultivate a culture of meaningful learning in their classrooms. Rablin's practical advice and thoughtful insights make this book a must-read for anyone looking to inspire and motivate their students.
