roundtable

Please join your upper school colleagues for a moderated conversation about grading and other academic issues relevant to upper school distance learning during the pandemic. The conversation will be moderated by Lisa Vardi from the Bullis School.  Below are some questions for reflection in advance.

  • Joe Feldman, author of Grading for Equity: What it is Why it Matters, and How it Can Transform Schools and Classrooms, recently released his recommendations for Grading during COVID-19 School Closures. Which of his recommendations might be relevant to AISGW schools and their students?  
  • What are the benefits to our students of keeping to our present grading systems?  What are the costs?  
  • Right now, what has your school decided about grading for the remainder of this term?  Is your school on semesters or trimesters?
