Eliminating the Grading Game

Eliminating the Grading Game: Providing Equity through Proficiency Based Learning Practices

At the recent Rowland Conference, Andrew Jones and Gabriel Hamilton from Mount Abraham Union Middle/High School gave this compelling presentation about shifts in practice required to transition to a proficiency-based learning system with the goal of equity for all. 

This presentation Eliminating the Grading Game can be used to inform educators as well as community members about the rationale for Proficiency-Based Learning and how it differs from traditional systems. It can also be used to provoke meaningful conversations about inequities that currently exist in systems and strategies for addressing them.
