I really like this statement from the bigger picture section: The real innovation isn’t in the marking system itself. It’s in what I’ll build with the time I reclaim.

Reclaiming the time for differentiation definitely sounds like what matter most. I look forward to chatting with you m…Read more

I agree with Robin that the community action aspect of this project is very powerful. I really like the possible connections to Math classes and the ability to build stronger community connections with local food banks. Does your school have any current relationships to build on?
