Friday, 1/25, 4th hour, room 844

Jay, Sarah Z, Paul B, and visitors from Horizons k8 there to brainstorm with us about portfolio grading.

Big takeaway that's related to the thinking we're doing here at FHS about grades: we have a population of students in this building who, before coming to FHS, never got grades (Horizons does portfolio grading only). These students hit FHS and often struggle with the grade-centered culture and the way they interact with school changes (often not for the better). We can learn a lot from these students if we talk to them.
