Introduction: Why ungrade? Why grade? / How to ungrade / What going gradeless taught me about doing the "actual work" / Just one change (just kidding) : ungrading and its necessary accompaniments / Shifting the grading mindset / Grades stifle student learning. Can we learn to teach without grades? / Let's talk about grading / Contract grading and peer review / Critique-driven learning and assessment / A STEM ungrading case study : a reflection on first-time implementation in organic chemistry II / The point-less classroom : a math teacher's ironic choice in not calculating grades / Grade anarchy in the philosophy classroom / Conference musings and the G-word / Wile E. Coyote, the hero of ungrading / Conclusion: Not simple but essential / Susan D. Blum -- Jesse Stommel -- Aaron Blackwelder -- Susan D.

"The moment is right for critical reflection on what has been assumed to be a core part of schooling. In Ungrading, fifteen educators write about their diverse experiences going gradeless. Some contributors are new to the practice and some have been engaging in it for decades. Some are in humanities and social sciences, some in STEM fields. Some are in higher education, but some are the K-12 pioneers who led the way. Based on rigorous and replicated research, this is the first book to show why and how faculty who wish to focus on learning, rather than sorting or judging, might proceed. It includes honest reflection on what makes ungrading challenging, and testimonials about what makes it transformative"
