Based on the principles outlined in Grading for Equity, our workshops offer deeper understanding and application, empowering teachers and leaders to improve grading in classrooms and schools.

Voices from Our Workshops
My grades are going to be a more accurate reflection of students’ mastery of the material, not just their compliance. I see a shift in how students are talking about their work–there is much more emphasis on learning, and fewer questions like, ‘How many points is this worth?
This professional development provides a great catalyst for us to examine our grading practices and have districtwide conversations about why we do what we do.
We’ve been talking about supporting teachers in authentic collaboration for decades. This has been the only experience I’ve had that was authentic collaboration.
