🔥 What does it mean to grow beyond grades?

🔥 What works about standards-based grading, and where does it fall short?

🔥 How can we deemphasize grades and shift the focus to growth in our practice?

About This Guest: In his teaching career, Arthur has taught mathematics, language arts, media arts, and technology. He has a passion for helping teachers move toward more humane, effective approaches to assessment, feedback, and reporting that help students develop positive beliefs in their abilities. He is also the founder of Grow Beyond Grades, a global group of educators convinced that teaching and learning is better when we grade less.
