Release Date:  July 25, 2017 Leave a Comment

Episode Synopsis

The first group of episodes will establish a foundation of educational philosophy, from which we can move forward. We’re moving on to the difficult topic of grades, using an article describing one effort to abolish letter grades and percentages entirely. What should a grade represent and how do we as teachers ensure they do that effectively and equitably?
