"Metacognition (or thinking about thinking) is the secret to and driving force behind all effective learning. If you want your students to learn as much as possible, then you want to maximize the amount of metacognition they're doing. It's a pretty simple equation. The only problem is that most classrooms are set up to promote metacognition in the teachers, not the students."

"[I]f the learner-centered model has proven itself to be so effective, and the high-stakes testing approach of the factory model has not, why is this model still dominant in many "leading" nations around the world?

In this post, Stack (2014.08.25) suggested four ways of developing or improving grading practices: 1. Separate and acknowledge the role of both formative and summative assessment. 2. Stop averaging averages to get more averages. 3. Separate academics from academic behaviors. 4. Use rubrics and a rubric scale, not percentage scores.
