Grading for equity
Grading for equity
Grading was originally designed to ‘sort’ students by academic excellence, but inequities have led to disparities in the grading system. In response to the pandemic and in an effort to be more equitable, NNHS adapted their grading system for the 2020/2021 school year to address practices that are outdated, inconsistent and inequitable. Learn more about how shifting grading practices can change the landscape of schools and potentially the future for students in this podcast of an interview with Joe Feldman, author of the book 'Grading for Equity'.
