Teachers Going Gradeless (TG²) is an international group of educators who believe that teaching and learning are better when we grade less. Founded in 2016 by Aaron Blackwelder and Arthur Chiaravalli, TG² provides professional development through its blog, podcast, Facebook group, and the #TG2Chat Twitter chat.
WHY GO GRADELESS?
The best reason to go gradeless is to unleash intrinsic motivation. Authentic learning doesn’t happen when we coerce students with rewards and consequences. Authentic learning comes from an innate desire to understand. Eliminating grades can be a step towards activating intrinsic motivation.
When we eliminate grades, we may find we have to fill the gap with something else.
This is the purpose of Teachers Going Gradeless. Here you will learn from teachers around the world who are either gradeless or grading less. Here you’ll discover humane, effective ways to grow beyond grades.
