I know teachers don't want fluff. And a lot of ice breakers suck. AND. Actual leaders know that community doesn't happen accidentally. If you never facilitate folks talking and working together, they won't magically do it on their own, especially not in our current system, which isolates teachers

If you haven't seen the resources on Checkology put together by @newslit.org that would be a good place to start! I used them with my 8th graders but I think they could be adapted for younger.

Shared with a few middle school teachers here in Iowa, so I hope there isn't a mileage range from NC!

I think multiples of 24 are easier to work with so I decomposed 16 into 10+5+1.

24 x 10 = 240
24 x 5 = 120
24 x 1 = 24

240 + 120 +24 = 384

An upside of this administration that I hadn't considered yet is that it could cause Green Day to put out an absolute banger of an album.

Would love any and all examples of what others are doing in similar courses!

Any ideas @geoffkrall.bsky.social?

I'm pregnant and there is a possibility I won't finish the semester, so I can't hand my classes over to a colleague without something concrete in the gradebook.

So, how do I establish a quantifiable grading system without bringing back the pedagogical harm that grades do to the learning process?

And I have LOVED IT. Students don't stress about points during semester and do actual, meaningful reflection at the end.

S/O @jessifer.bsky.social & @humrespro.bsky.social for introducing me to #ungrading

However...
