In 2026, let's walk together, finding every opportunity (and make our own if none are found) to hold candid conversations on oppression, to become aware, remain informed, and do the heavy lifting required. Let's find a way to cultivate hope, dismantle despair, summon courage, suppress ego, think critically, extend compassion, and ignite creative endeavor in each of us - You know, 'the stuff of great humanity. There's a wonderful generation coming up, looking for our example; we can do this.

@mathillustrated Ralph, just want to reach out in gratitude for your postings. You fight the good fight: Your professionalism and well reasoned, common sense, real classroom experience rebuttals to so many online math reformers cudgeling us with simplistic recipes for math instruction (and our larger teaching profession) keeps me sane and gives us hope. I greet each post from you eagerly. Thank you for all of them.

Very real student futures are affected by grading policies and practices. Our profession has an ethical responsibility to do the deeper dives into such practices, looking for what advances accurate reporting and student learning and growth. See below for one program that will help with staying up to speed AND helping others in their own journey with grading practices.

In case it will help: The two-day accurate, ethical grading seminars are back! We have three locations around the nation: October 6th & 7th, 2026 in Naperville, IL; February 2nd & 3rd, 2027 in Reston, VA; February 23rd & 24th, 2027 in Albuquerque, NM. The first day is on accurate, ethical, and fair grading practices, and the second day is on how to shift the culture and practices of faculties, including ourselves, for such practices. It's for teachers, leaders, coaches, college/university professors working with teachers, school board members, and interested parents. And hey, it's still one of the less expensive, 2-day seminars on grading you'll find, and we include lunch! For specific details go to: educationspeakersnetwork.com/rick-wormeli-s…
