revision
In our school, we believe learning happens after the grade is given. In order to learn more, you are able to improve the work you submit. We call this revision.
Learners submit tasks and get feedback from teachers on how learners can improve their work. This feedback is directly tied to the continua. You can always self-assess using the continua.
