Boss Battles are a simple re-imagining of a traditional test. By framing a test as a boss battle similar to those in popular video games, a teacher is able to re-frame marks as "hit points" and steer the focus away from competitive, marks-based approaches and towards one of growth mindset and clear demonstrations of learning. In our classroom game, many of the monsters we face cannot be defeated by individual students, and will be battled by student guilds. This adds an element of collaboration and peer support, as everyone in the group benefits from each other's strengths.
Below is a list of bosses that have been defeated!
