The Minnesota New Country Scho...Way to go Pernille! The Minnesota New Country School has been successfully serving students without grading for 17 years. Having taught at that school I can attest to this type of environment. Although it takes some getting used to for a few parents most embrace this mastery-based system. Once people see how student motivation changes from completing a task to earn a grade to learning because of the desire to learn they embrace it as well. It's really amazing. Colleges have done very well understanding this system too. Students are accepted into colleges without grades, GPA's and class rank. <br />It's wonderful to see more educators shift to abolish grades. You are right, we are not alone. Keep up the amazing work!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
