  •  
    Why's for shifting to standards-based grading. tl;dr 1. Gives meaning to grades; 2. Challenges status quo; 3. Control/ownership of grading practice; 4. Reduces meaningless paperwork; 5. Feedback for adjusting instruction; 6. Teaches what quality looks like; 7. Opens doors to further reforms.

  •  
    Article was basis for "The Durst Talk" (so-named by students). Starter for conversation on role of citizen in pursuit of social justice (I think the talk put into play the idea of justice eclipsing charity, but article is not limited to that function). A personal challenge type of article.

  • social justice
    • Christopher Yarsawich
       
      Worth mentioning: there is at present an ideological backlash against the very concept of "social justice." I think we need to be aware of how language is constantly evolving in this regard, as well as how to debunk the primary charges (disparagements) levied by the Religious Right and the Right in general. 
  • the concept of human rights and major rights policy instruments
    • Christopher Yarsawich
       
      This gets at the heart of what we mean by "Global Citizenship"-I cannot think of a meaningful framework outside that of human rights. Challenge: "rights policy instruments" as active part of global education-what are they and how do we engage with them? Volunteerism is easy to do and to do repeatedly; social justice, I'm not so sure about what that looks like stemming from an educational setting.
  • Promotes social entrepreneurialism as a civic solution
    • Christopher Yarsawich
       
      How can we imagine "civic solutions" that are still project-based (i.e., Capstone-able)?
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • we will need bolder and more imaginative civic spaces in schools and institutions of higher education.
    • Christopher Yarsawich
       
      That's the real challenge for us in designing a program that grows students into ethical agents of change: what the heck does it look like?
