Back to EpisodesAndrew Coley, Director of Secondary Curriculum and Instruction, Northwest Christian School: Is it Time to Do Away with Grades?
Description
It's a question that is increasingly being asked within the field of education and beyond.
Have we reached a point within our culture in which it is now time to do away with grades and academic marks of any sort?
As related in a recent article from the Los Angeles Times which relates that two of California's largest school districts--Los Angeles Unified and San Diego Unified--have radically restructured student feedback mechanisms and are, believe it or not, moving towards the elimination of grades.
But, before we get on the "anti-California" bandwagon, perhaps we should seriously consider both the pros and the cons of current grading strategies. Is there some virtue to these notions?
