This video explores whether traditional grading is necessary in a micro school or homeschool setting. It challenges the historical purpose of grades and offers practical, learner-centered alternatives like portfolio assessments, student reflections, and project presentations. Viewers will gain insight into how to show student progress without relying on test scores or letter grades, even when working in hybrid learning environments. With a focus on growth, communication, and long-term learning, this video helps educators and parents rethink assessment in a way that better fits their educational goals and values.
