This session will include references and discussion of the work of Thomas Guskey and Lee Ann Jung (authors of numerous books and position papers on the topic of grading, assessment and purpose). Other references will include Susan Brookhart, Todd Rose, and Dylan William.
In this second conversation, Myron will focus on topics from his book such as what homework is and could be, the appropriateness of zeroes in student grades, and specific ideas for purposeful action.
