@hgse Our grading system is rooted in a fixed mindset about IQ and a colonial system where teachers rank and evaluate. Traditional grades hold us back from creating student centered responsive classrooms. The future is #decentralized, students should accumulate attestations of skills.
HGSE alumnus Joe Feldman, Ed.M. '93 argues that we need to rethink grading in schools, noting that “Our grading must stop using points to reward or punish, but instead should teach students the connection between means of learning and the ends." https://t.co/9etN4nqnKD
It’s no longer a question of “should we?” It‘s more like “when will we?”
Thank you to John Laidler from the @BostonGlobe shedding light on the #Vote16Initiative where @MaldenPublic Jimmy Li (MHS ‘20) and his colleagues from @MRisingLeaders were featured on this article! #Vote16
My parents still get an actual paper copy of the Globe, which is how I noticed. Jimmy gets a picture and there’s a picture of all of @MRisingLeaders presenting to the community!
