Rather, they are inherent within all our teaching, but are brought to a head by SBG because it forces us to be explicit about many things often left implicit: our learning objectives, how we prioritize remediation of older material vs. coverage of new, the purpose of homework, whose responsibility various aspects of learning are, and what grades communicate” (Beatty, 2013, p. 20)
