The last three years have been unlike any we’ve experienced in education. Extreme teacher shortages traumatized and disengaged students, demoralized educators at every level, and unprecedented outside interference in school policy. The challenges we now face are not responding to old solutions, strategies, and thinking. Join us as we speak with educators, school leaders, superintendents, and various education stakeholders who have already accepted that we’re never going back to normal. From now on it will be forward to different.
Forward-looking educators have been thinking, writing, and discussing the need to change how we do grading for many years. What’s different now, is that the myriad ways traditional grading undermine real learning are becoming more painful than the effort required to change the grading system. In this episode, Fanny Passeport shares a five-point, researched-based framework for making the transition and invites us to take the first step by joining the conversation.
