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!
