I interview two of my students and get their take on grades. Biggest takeaway "Only I know if I have learned something" and that "Grades really don't matter in the real world"

Process vs Product feedback, which is better? Praise the process not the person. Traditional grades can help create a mindset that can hurt long term growth.

Welcome to the first episode, this will be a weekly podcast to help motivate teachers and Educators to ditch those grades. My goal is to see schools become more about learning than performance. I hope to inspire Educators to give better feedback and students to own their learning.
