Jake and Morgan discuss the prologue from the book Grading for Equity by Joe Feldman (2018), a book that is helping schools and teachers upgrade the way that we assess and measure student learning. The ideas and the references in the book make a strong case that the way we have been grading for over 100 years in the US education system and in similar systems is not only flawed but harmful, and that problems like low levels of learning, cheating, and disruptive student behaviors can all be positively impacted by improving the way that we determine a student's grade.
