Dear Glory, sorry, I have no experience with open space in the classroom or in designing a whole semester of work at a college. What I am wondering about, though, is the wisdom of creating "some" open space. If one were to have an open space in the classroom, would you not have to deal with such q

Julie-- My stomach lurches at the SYSTEM of grading, not at your use of it. You work within a system that uses grades. Perhaps when OST becomes common practice in high school classrooms, the current grading system will evolve to a higher level. I applaud the good work you are doing! BJ Peters Ju
