Indeed, the same book or series of books!

Liz, you and the word “slacker” don’t even belong in the same sentence.

We'll also have chapters on getting ready to experiment w/alternative grading, mixing & remixing different models, & grading reform writ large.
The book stems from our work where we've tried to focus on moving beyond introducing models to helping folks find the best one for them & their students.

This will be a handbook of sorts for faculty who want to use alternative grading models and will feature chapters on the most prominent frameworks: contract grading, portfolio grading, standards-based grading, etc. We'll provide tools and strategies for successful implementation.

Soon I'll be contracted to write more unbreakable codes for top-secret resistance projects.

Do you know about @sagathingpodcast.bsky.social?

High praise indeed!

I think that happens (the conflation) quite a lot actually. Largely because Feldman's equity model and the dominant model of SBG in many K-12 districts (Marzano) both use 4-3-2-1 grading. As @mctownsley.bsky.social notes in a lot of his work, implementation fidelity is not ideal in many instances.

Please let me know if you see it doing so. I'll help in any way I can. We can't let this become the right's latest crusade.

Is there any way we can help? Presentations? Amicus-brief kinds of things?

I feel especially bad for the folks on the ground at HHMI. They have poured their all into this project.

It's terrible, Josef. I'm sorry.

It's brutal. So many hours of work we put into this thing, all to disappear from one day to the next.

Completely agree!

Frankly, I'm shocked. I expected HHMI to be a staunch defender of DEI, especially given their undergraduate education initiatives centering on DEI.

Exactly!
