Shifting the System: An Interview with Starr Sackstein6 okt 202527 min

<p>This episode of CAToday focuses on an interview with Starr Sackstein. Starr has a great deal of experience in education. She does a lot of work with schools around eliminating traditional grading. Not just standards-based grading, which she says is a good first step, but also removing grading in place of a conversation with a student who advocates for themselves. Students demonstrate their learning through a discussion with the teacher. </p><p>This podcast touches briefly on AI in education and the concept of Maslow before Bloom's.
