Does the grade demonstrate what a student knows??? Probably not. And that is a problem.

The grading system a teacher creates is anything but arbitrary.
It's grounded in their values, experiences, and philosophy of education.
This is why responses to grading reform efforts are so emotional.

Umm, before you get too crazy with your GIFs and praise, you might want to look at the ratings for leadership from Eric Twadell’s school, Adlai Stevenson in Lincolnshire:

And he just introduced himself to our school today as we begin this training. @SUHSD I hope you’re keeping your eyes open to possible issues with this training. Hoping for the best, but with eyes wide open.

2 The Stevenson Administration (like Troy Gobble, Eric Twadell and Anthony Reibel) has travelled around the country with Solution Tree consulting to promote these ridiculous grading practices. I say ridiculous because they are not research based or peer-reviewed. #atAssessment

The group that fears getting “groomed” by Bud Light made a Mexican beer the best-selling in the US because when you get thirsty thinking about how much you hate immigrants, you want to drink Modelo.

Y'all. Ask your teacher friends how many kids they teach have been hospitalized for mental health issues in the last three years. Ask what the needs are at their schools, because I'm telling you right now schools need licensed professionals.

Texas Republicans are trying to replace school counselors with untrained, unsupervised religious chaplains.
I asked the bill author about the dangerous implications of this legislation. #txlege
