John Camp has spent 29 years in education and is currently the Head of Teaching and Learning at New England Innovation Academy. He has an innovative approach to grades where he’s shifting away from more traditional grading and assessment formats in the name of focusing on competency and real-world application of skills, and he’s telling us all about it this week.

 

Listen in this week as I quiz John on why it’s worth re-evaluating our relationship with grades and how he’s experimenting with alternative assessment systems that don’t simply rely on letter grades. He’s sharing the benefits of focusing on a competency-based framework, what happens when we de-emphasize grades, and how you can begin moving the needle in this direction too if you feel inspired by his initiatives.
