• surprised by faculty response to no IC/grades at faculty meeting yesterday--seems to be more support out there than expected
• are we teachers or evaluators
• are we coaches or referees
• how do we get students to really OWN their learning? 
• if we do something as a school about grades and/or IC, we need to be very clear about what we're doing and why and we all need to be on message together
• need to think about the anxieties the community will have and address them effectively
• we need multiple narratives of success
• no computers allowed at PT conferences? 
• we don't need a mandate--we just need to start doing it and talking about why/how it works
• parents and students WANT experiences of substance for students
