As Aaron Blackwelder relates in his recent blog post, there’s often a very personal story at the heart of the decision to get away from grades. Sometimes that has been a positive reason, like seeing students flourish in an environment of narrative feedback; other times, it has been negative, like feeling crushed under the weight of constant grading-related tasks. Usually it’s some combination of both.

Arthur Chiaravalli joins Aaron this Sunday as #TG2Chat asks why you gave up on grades, and what that journey has meant for you, your subject area, and the students you teach.
