If #grades aren’t meant to punish, then students shouldn’t receive grade deductions for late work or plagiarism (other non-grade consequences and/or teaching need to be used, such as #restorative practices)

I was given this book in 1996. I was a few years into my career. Today’s devotion was on making learning relevant for my students. My goal is to do this each and every day. Happy Wednesday! (Yes, that is a large cup of coffee!)
