A lovely post from Jeremy Hiebert's headspace via Arti's blog.
He was telling me about this new grading system he's implemented -- identical to what is described here. Every test broken down into its component learning outcomes, with remedial steps and re-tests only on the parts the students haven't performed well on. At first I was thinking, "wow, pretty innovative and individualized." Then the reality of it hit me, and I blurted out, "that's pretty much the opposite of my educational philosophy!"
I'd have trouble arguing that his friend had a philosophy that warranted the adjective "educational".
