"Inequitable grading practices create undesirable outcomes for students of colour, first-generation students and other historically marginalized students. Equity will only be realized through the intentional efforts of all teachers."

"Schools that acquiesce to the factory model of schooling perpetuate an ineffective, age-based curriculum. Teachers do need schematics for moving students through the established curriculum. But as we apply sound pedagogy and respond to real students’ individual needs, blind adherence to pacing mandates makes little sense. "
