Teaching should be about encouraging student learning not policing behavior. jessestommel.com/ungrading-f…
We each come to the classroom with different contexts and teach different students in different disciplines in necessarily different ways. jessestommel.com/the-practic…

It’s been almost two years since I’ve written something entirely new about ungrading. Really glad to have this out in the world. It’s a simple piece but it gets to some incredibly practical aspects of this work that I haven’t written about before. jessestommel.com/the-practic…
“Turnitin monetizes student intellectual property and contributes to a culture of suspicion in education.”

This is just bad guys.
Even if a sea change occurs, this is a horrible diagnosis for us. We did something very wrong.

Professors- what activities/ books etc do you keep on hand in case kids (toddler/ preschool age) visit your class with their parents?
I’ve got a couple animal books and bubble wrap to pop plus white board markers, but seeking other ideas!
Thank you!

Is grading doing us or our students any favors? Or do grades short circuit the rich, messy human interactions that are so important to meaningful learning? Check out our latest episode of Higher Listenings with @Jessifer to hear why breaking our addiction to grades may be easier than you think.

After tonight’s debate there should be no doubt – no room for discussion – @KamalaHarris is the only candidate in this race who is ready to be President.
I am once again urging everyone to roll up their sleeves and DO SOMETHING – phone bank, knock on doors, talk to any and everyone you know and urge them to vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. Every vote will matter in what will be a close race. We cannot afford to have anyone sitting on the sidelines. There’s simply too much at stake.
Get involved today at go.KamalaHarris.com.
