Nothing new, per se, for me so far as I’ve read other grading reform books. However, so far I think this may be a great book for the “ok, we agree grading is a problem, what realistic things should we do about it?” crowd.
I also found the parts about grading/motivation reaffirming.
Sorry - life happened! I’ll be back soon with a slightly different format. Thanks for checking - it means a lot!
Sooner or later! So far, my favorite grading book is Joe Feldman's book, but I'm enjoying this one as well. I saw Ken speak a few months ago and he was really good.
Took a break from my work for a patio read…

🎉 Padlet Sandbox recently got louder (and flashier).
✨ Add 6 visual + 181 sound effects to objects—🎊 🎆 👏 … even 🐐 bleats.
And it's only in play mode, so editing stays calm, while play mode can get wild.
