Anyone do "pointless grading?" - Seeking Advice
Hey folks,
I work at an Early College and several of my peers (the entire English department and 1 math teacher) use 'pointless grading' for their classes similar to what you might find in Sarah Zerwin's book "Point-less."

Anyway, they are asking if I would be interested in joining them in this effort, as they are wildly successful and, due to upcoming accreditation renewal, they have expressed trying to make a larger push in making this a more school wide, across multiple subjects and grades.
I am interested in the premise, but am concerned about the application in History as opposed to English.
I have been considering various things to improve my class this upcoming school year, but just wanted to gauge the sub for experience in this method.
If you have any resources, experience, or ideas let me know!
