Ungrading is something I can’t recommend highly enough! I do it with HS physics and students develop a deeper understanding with almost no anxiety. Overwhelmingly positive feedback from Ss. Only wish I’d started sooner in my career!

#EduSky This was not only the first episode of Overthrowing Education that dealt with ungrading, but it was actually my first episode 4 years ago. Here is an encore of it: directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/…

#Edusky An important change we can make in ed. is to ungrade/go gradeless. If you aren't familiar with it or are thinking about trying it, here are some eps of the Overthrowing Education podcast that can help educators understand why & how. See comments for more eps. tinyurl.com/GradeSlayer

Hey #EDUSky goers, I wanted to let you know about my podcast, Overthrowing Education. I know most educators have a podcast these day, but still worth it. My latest episode with Crystal Frommert is live: tinyurl.com/Ep104CrystalFrommert

I used it every class for in class flipped learning. It allowed all the students to work at their own pace and work with me one-to-one or in small groups. Nothing else seemed to work as well.

There are so many ways! I'll highlight the most recent: I was asked to take a HS English class at the end of March that was known to be unruly, and many different skills levels. I used Edpuzzle in a way I hadn't before, and it was super helpful. #EDUsky

I look forward to listening. I think humor is really important. My latest episode is all about the importance of humor with Mr D. Also, I start every episode with a commercial parody for fake ed products we wish were real.

There are lots of great resources, and I'm always happy to guide Ts through the process. In the meantime, I have many episodes about it on my podcast, Overthrowing Education. I'll put a link to the most recent. tinyurl.com/StacieAndCo

It sounds like taking "weening off slowly" approach was really helpful. I really love this interview with a teacher and 5 of her students talking about their Ungrading experience this last school year: tinyurl.com/StacieAndCo

I’m a huge proponent of ungrading or going gradeless. If anyone wants to learn more about why or how to do it, let me know. #EDUsky

That’s a great idea. I also like that you involved them in figuring out what they need and when they want it.

I'm with you on this. I'm presenting 3 different workshops next week, and I always worrying about this. I give people my info. in case they want to contact me for help, but only a few ever do. Maybe offering an online follow up session for a minimal amount?
