Is grading doing us or our students any favors? Or do grades short circuit the rich, messy human interactions that are so important to meaningful learning? For Jesse Stommel, author of Undoing the Grade: Why We Grade and How to Stop, breaking our addiction to grades may be easier than you think. Jesse shares why he’s never put a grade on student work and why ‘ungrading’ might be the just the thing we need to move beyond the transactional to get students invested in learning.
