I hear you. I've been pushing back a bit on common understandings of triangulation and multiple measures because I experience the same. I find that when we gather evidence of learning and mastery from tasks, talk, and behavioral tendencies and look for patterns across,we warm things up a bit better.
Yes, data from a variety of activities and sources rather than always collected in the same way. Seeing your data collection is awesome inspiring. After learning about Reggio Emelia, I wanted to have a visual collection of our learning across the year but never got it rolling. Time to rethink!
So worth it. Especially now. I find that that dedicated practice is a sort of self care. Documenting dignifies our learning and work, especially when it's hard.
