“We do that by letting the big secret out to the kids: that you are not coming to school to remember facts, mimic skills, or ‘do work.’ You are here to learn, and learning isn’t about textbooks and tests, it’s about a practice and a process that you all need to know about.”

In my 29 yrs, the most authentic learning in my class has happened in the absence of grading. Some of the least authentic learning has happened in the presence of grading. We only “need grades” because we’ve only used grades. We don’t need grades for learning. #Project180

Schools are influenced more by their informal culture than by their mission statement, policies, and procedures. Strong, supportive relationships and a positive team mentality are what make a school truly exceptional

With the phrase ‘going gradeless,’ we hope to express the idea of moving—gradually or rapidly—away from the pernicious influence of grades, and toward more humane and effective methods of assessment and feedback. growbeyondgrades.org/start?3…
