Key Webinar Topics

The purpose of this webinar is to explore how assessment and accountability live within the 6-12 environment when there are no grades.

Instead of tests and scores, guides rely on observation, conversations, records, the child's own work, and patterns of development over time, protecting freedom and intrinsic motivation while still identifying gaps, responding to avoidance, and supporting organization. Children, in turn, gradually take part in evaluating, planning, and taking responsibility for their own work.
