Description
Welcome to Learner-Centered Spaces podcast produced by Mastery Portfolio. Our hosts are Starr Sackstein and Crystal Frommert. We are educators sharing our experiences of being the lone wolves of de-emphasizing grades in a traditional grades school. Starting the shift toward standards-based grading is no easy task when the community (colleagues, parents, students, and admin) is expecting a number grade on assignments and report cards.

On today's episode, we're joined by Arthur Chiaravalli, House Director at Champlain Valley Union High School in Hinesburg, Vermont. Over his career, Arthur has taught ELA, math, technology, and media arts, and also served as a dean of students—experience that gives him a whole-school lens on teaching and learning.
Arthur's purpose is clear: to change how we think about assessment so it truly serves teaching and learning, rather than systems that reduce students and teachers to what's easy to measure. At CVU, he focuses on practices that honor curiosity, growth, and authentic evidence of learning.
Outside of school, Arthur is the proud parent of eight children, whose educations have included homeschooling and outdoor programs—fueling his passion for learner-centered education.
