In this episode, Michael Brody, Assistant Head of School at JCHS, shares the school’s “Grading for Learning” philosophy, which prioritizes mastery over noise like attendance penalties or extra credit. He explains how policies like retakes and rewrites encourage intellectual risk-taking, while AP courses focus on authentic, college-level learning rather than test prep. Michael offers insight into how JCHS balances rigorous academic standards with fostering intrinsically motivated learners who love learning for its own sake.Episode launch date: October 19, 2025To find out more about JCHS, visit www.jchsofthebay.org.
