"You can’t ungrade away a broken assignment. You can’t ungrade away a lack of care for your students. You can’t ungrade away pedagogy that is rooted in wielding power over students." ~ Martha Burtis colab.plymouthcreate.net/2023/08/16/for…

So proud of the work that has been published by Hybrid Pedagogy since 2011. Almost 500 articles by over 250 authors. And these seven books gather together many of those authors and a generous handful of others.

"Our conversations are never really about what we say they're about. But we circle around a topic in really productive ways." I adore talking with @bonni208 for Teaching in HigherEd. This episode is about ungrading, S-chool, what education is for, and more: teachinginhighered.com/podcast/undoin…

I'm currently reading a book on critical pedagogy, and this quote embodies so much of who I strive to be as an educator: "Education must be a practice done with hearts as much as heads, with hands as much as books. Care has to be at the center of this work." Jesse Stommel et al.
