The moment is right for critical reflection on what has been assumed to be a core part of schooling. In Ungrading, fifteen educators write about their diverse experiences going gradeless. Based on rigorous and replicated research, this is the first book to show why and how faculty who wish to focus on learning, rather than sorting or judging, might proceed. It includes honest reflection on what makes ungrading challenging, and testimonials about what makes it transformative.

Reading more of “Ungrading” this morning. Multiple references to @DanielPink’s “Drive” and the motivational effects of autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Those are reasons why #StudentsasProducers can be so powerful. https://ir.vanderbilt.edu/handle/1803/9446
