By Terry DubowEducation
Redesigning School episodes
- Grappling with Grades
Teachers and co-hosts Terry Dubow and Julia Griffin kick off the inaugural episode of the Redesigning School podcast with a conversation about the role grades play in a student's education and a teacher's vocation. Let's just say that it's a complicated relationship.
A few references that we mention (or should have!) :- "Letter Grades Deserve an F" -- Jessica Lahey The Atlantic
- Mindset -- Carol Dweck
- Drive -- Daniel Pink
- “Do School Better” podcast at Wildfire Education -- Doris Korda
- The Secret of Effective Feedback -- Dylan Wiliam
- "Delaying the Grade: How to Get Students to Read Feedback" -- Kristy Louden
Special thanks to Rennie Greenfield and Nick Fletcher for their production help!

About Redesigning School
From the publisher's feed
There's a secret hidden in plain sight: school doesn't work for many, many students because, to a large extent, today’s schools were built for yesterday’s world. Schools still prioritize teaching over…
learning, conformity over agency, memorization over application, testing knowledge over using it, grading over growing, competition over collaboration, stress over engagement, the what over the why. What would happen, though, if we designed school with students and the future in mind? Every other Wednesday, parents, students, and fellow teachers should join Terry Dubow, Garet Libbey, and Julia Griffin as they interview experts, students, and educators, and explore ways to redesign school for changed world.
