Before utility companies matured enough to produce and transport electricity to human communities, candles made from tallow or beeswax or lamps that burned oils or kerosene lit up spaces at night.
Reading issues like this is inspirational thanks to the wide approach used to explain things and involve different perspectives. Thank you for sharing!
I used it as part of my Effective Teaching class the last few years, on the recommendation of my son-in-law who went through the STEP program. I think Joe's wife is a lecturer there at Stanford? Anyway, he came to a session we held for the secondary folks and then later I heard him during a Davis school board meeting - they had a pilot study with interested teachers for at least a year looking at some aspects of his recommendations. I really liked the concepts, as they were just well packaged in his book, but were all based on pretty solid research. He's a great personality and can carry his message with teachers!
The high school district here in Roseville used it for PD a year or two ago. It takes an ambassador to push for the kind of changes needed. I’m working on another post exploring collaborative grading within departments. I think some variation of distancing evaluation for export from the classroom is a necessary step toward exploding the whole blackbox.

Terry, are you familiar with Joe Feldman and his book Grading for Equity? Very relevant to your thoughts here! Lots of teachers and schools interested and trying out aspects of his recommendations!

Thanks, Nick. This is a prequel to the piece I’m working on for you

I’ve heard and read about but I haven’t read it. I know it has been read by lots of teacher professional book clubs.
