So glad that teachers are reading & thinking together about this critical aspect of their practice and their students' futures.
Great times at Berkley High School! They are doing a deep read of Equitable Grading Practices by @JoeCFeldman, facilitated by @meganthrom. Giving staff time to read was very welcomed by staff.
