Episode 23: Is There a School Just Like Us Doing This?

from The Fires in Grading · host Garth Larson, Becky Peppler, Don Smith

It is one of the most common questions we hear in grading reform work. In Episode 23, Becky, Don, and Garth explore why educators naturally look for examples before moving forward — and how that instinct can either support progress or unintentionally slow it down. They discuss how to structure school visits and cross district conversations so they inspire action, not comparison, and how to shift from waiting for a perfect match to building clarity in your own context.Learn more about our sponsors: Otus: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://hubs.li/Q03StGb_0⁠⁠⁠⁠STAGR Center: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://firsteducation-us.com/stagr⁠⁠
