#1469: "Grading For Equity"

Teachers have a huge effect on the lives of their students. And one of the biggest and most important parts of a teacher’s job is something where they get little to no training of guidance: handing out grades.

Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, we’ll talk to a veteran educator who says the way teachers grade their students in the US is broken…and how that system can be fixed.

Then we’ll wait until the very end of the show for an Academic Minute on procrastination.
