This is an awesome book full of suggestions and implementation strategies for how to go gradeless. Perfect for setting up a project-based, reflection-based, type of classroom. Suggestions do seemed geared more towards middle and high school teachers, which I am not, but I was still very pleased.
This book is an amazing resource for educators to navigate the world of meaningful assessments as we move away from grades and focus more on student growth.
