@ungrading @edutooters as I work through the growing stack of resources for #Ungrading, I am still present to a stakeholder who hasn't been mentioned so far, but to whom I owe some amount of accountability: parents and guardians. As much as ungrading seems to point toward teacher and admin education, and that students need to be informed clearly of the expectations, so too do the parents of these high school children who have their own agendas and expectations for the system.
@randy @ungrading @edutooters for sure, clear, early and open communication are essential. The good news is, locally, I know many K-12 teachers who have moved to #ungrading and in one case an entire grade level team. I hope to see an entire department soon. The reception has been overwhelmingly positive when the ungrading is clearly explained, especially in terms of reduced student stress and that their learning will be recognized.
