Congrats grads! “I’ll leave you with three quick pieces of advice: 1. Don’t be afraid. 2. Do what you think is right. 3. And finally, build a community. No one does big things by themselves. — @BarackObama ow.ly/WWBE50zIBFX

When #physics teacher Nick Sigmon started to see each teacher's #grading policies as a set of arbitrary rules students are expected to follow, as opposed to a coherent indication of what a student knows, he was ready to make a change @Kschwart ow.ly/nCst50ygPIb #edchat
