There was a teacher in my past who tried this out and even got the district to stop displaying average scores in the digital gradebook. EYE OPENING but not surprising that students and parents were shocked while also more intrigued than ever about how to engage and how to share their learning with their teacher. Things that stood out to me centered around invested, transparent, and ongoing opportunities to discuss the learning process with content as the vehicle! 1. "In my Zen class, assignments receive credit for completion. Essay exams get extensive comments. After each exam, students attend individual conferences, in which we discuss how the semester has been going. They write short self-evaluations assessing their attendance, contribution to class discussions and work on readings." 2. "I often hear, “So you’re giving out all A’s, right?” Nope. On their self-evaluations, students often significantly underrate their performance. In one case, a student had missed a few classes early in the semester and was not talkative in class. However, her essay was excellent. She gave herself a D for the first half of the term." 3. "Students are, in fact, excited about learning. However, they’re indifferent to or even bothered by the educational system’s incessant emphasis on quantitative measures and assignments that seem to have little or no value." #students #educators
