🔍 We need to rethink the purpose of grading. Is it to rank and sort students, or to provide feedback and support their learning? Let's prioritize the latter. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter
🔍 Not completing homework is not proof of insufficient learning. Thus, missing homework shouldn't be recorded as a zero—it's simply missing data. Better, don't grade homework at all. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter
2022 PISA results are here.
What do you notice? What do you wonder?
Let’s talk about it…

📚 Steps to mastery of a skill: 1. acquisition (I did it once) 2. fluency (I can do it consistently) 3. maintenance (I can keep doing it) 4. transfer (I can use it in new ways) (Hanson, et al., 1978) and still true. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat
📈 Most learners with #IEPs do not require modified expectations; they need support, time, and sometimes #intervention . ALL #students need high expectations. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter
🔑 How well #students with #IEPs succeed depends largely on the expectations teachers hold for them. Never underestimate the combined power of high expectations and awesome instruction. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter
🎓 A low pass rate or class average grade is NOT an indicator of rigor of the course, but rather an indicator of inadequate #teaching and/or #assessment practices. I'm talking to you, too, college professors. #LeadInclusion #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter
📚 #Grading homework introduces big problems. #Homework runs a serious risk of widening the achievement gap for #students with #IEPs and students from low-income backgrounds. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter
It’s here!!!
Thank you for writing Jesse Stommel!

Hello my #gradeless and #thinkingclassroom friends. I am making the jump from Twitter to Threads. Follow me on Threads at “andrew.math.teacher” @TG2Chat Peter Liljedahl Arthur Chiaravalli
What happens when, somehow, it all comes together? Writing, Community, ungrading. Just found this from a few years ago. #ungrading #gradeless @TG2Chat (Nick Covington , Jesse Stommel David Buck (dbuckedu.bsky.social)
No, no it is not 💯
“Is it too much to imagine schools where students’ learning, growth, strengths, and identities can be acknowledged, celebrated, even shared—without the stifling influences of standardization and measurement?”Arthur Chiaravalli @tg2chat teachersgoinggradeless.com/blog/we-need-t…
So proud of this book - I hope it helps teachers provide agency to students... get your copy here

If the conventional practices are harmful and uninformative, then we should do all in our power to challenge them. Dr Susan Blum (pronounced BLOOM; Pronouns she/her) @tg2chat teachersgoinggradeless.com/blog/the-ungra…
