Here's the core question about what and how to grade, I guess: Am I rewarding compliance or am I measuring learning? The key to navigating that divide is to make sure you have a course structure that actually rewards learning, rather than compliance. That took me years to achieve— John Warner (@biblioracle) January 4, 2023

These things are hard. There's no definite right approach that works across every context. It's a process. That said, I highly recommend instructors examine how much of their pedagogy rests on compliance, and whether or not student compliance is actually linked to learning.— John Warner (@biblioracle) January 4, 2023

If you reject the tools of compliance (e.g., grading attendance and participation), I think you have to really concentrate on providing students guidance and structure regarding the course, what success looks like, how they should be considering themselves and their work, etc...— John Warner (@biblioracle) January 4, 2023

In my experience, giving students agency inside of a clear and coherent structure results in not just more attendance and engagement, but better engagement, engagement that's predicated on students' desires to learn, rather than complying with a policy for a grade.— John Warner (@biblioracle) January 4, 2023

I'm not super familiar with everything on the site and it's not entirely focused just on schools, but @rboren and @stimpunks have a lot of stuff. Might find what you're looking for there.https://t.co/Cx3VtSy5B6— Christopher Barber (@Chris_C_Barber) January 6, 2023

Love this article! Some of the videos you linked were how I discovered the solarpunk movement. It's been really helping me pull myself out of a doomer mindset and actually start seeing the possibility of building a better future again 💖— Kaya Oldaker. (@Kayas_Kosmos) January 4, 2023
