By removing letter-grades and percentages from the picture, we're also getting rid of rank-and-sort.
We're saying goodbye to trophy culture.
Instead, we're saying that we are a learning community.

I’m blown away that teachers still assess all students the same way on the same day. Is it not crystal clear that students learn at different rates? Why then are we sticking to a system that is SO flawed. And worse, most times students are never given an opportunity to recover.

Students are not looking for a well-scripted, perfect lesson. They are hoping for an engaging lesson, a fun lesson. But most importantly-they need a well rested, present, focused teacher who listens. #teachmindful
