“Ungrading is a philosophy and not a practice, one bent on turning the tables in the classroom so that students can intervene in their own education.”
This from @slamteacher is one of the most lucid pieces I’ve read about #ungrading. timeshighereducation.com/campus/problem…

As @slamteacher points out, ungrading is not a “plug-and-play best practice.”
Nodding to Paulo Freire’s notion of the “student-teacher”, @slamteacher writes, “Ungrading is about rearranging the room, placing the teacher among the students and requiring steady engagement with one another. Teachers and students share both roles; they should learn together.”
In conclusion, @slamteacher writes, “What I really wish is that educators would climb aboard the student bandwagon.”
I’ve written previously about the danger of ungrading becoming a zeitgeist. “We can't simply take away grades without re-examining all our pedagogical approaches, and this looks different for each teacher, in each context, and with each group of students.” jessestommel.com/grades-are-deh…
