For Jesse Stommel, author of Undoing the Grade: Why We Grade and How to Stop, breaking our addiction to grades may be easier than you think. Jesse shares why he’s never put a grade on student work and why ‘ungrading’ might be the just the thing we need to move beyond the transactional to get students invested in learning.
