Chad Lang is an assistant superintendent of HR and school improvement in Glenwood Iowa. He is passionate about grading, curriculum, and professional development.
On today’s episode we discuss the importance of curriculum and grading when preparing students for the “real world”. He clarifies the difference between curriculum and resources, and explains why textbooks and companies should never be the curriculum for our students. Chad also describes the importance of starting with a common definition of grades, with his definition aligning tightly to what we expect students to know and be able to do in reference to specific standards.
