Learning Without Grading: An Introduction to Contract or Specifications Grading

Over the past few years, several Dawson teachers have experimented with Contract or Specifications grading, which is a way to take the focus off of grades, and instead emphasize each individual’s progress and body of work throughout the semester. In this informal online meetup, three teachers share their experiences with this different paradigm. Three brief presentations followed by questions and conversation. Presenters: Ben Lander (History), Jocelyn Parr (History), Jeff Gandell (English). From Jan 13, 2023.
