A lack of clarity & consistency in the guiding principles of standards-based grading (SBG) has thwarted efforts to reform flawed grading systems. Hopefully, the insights shared in this new article will provide a basis for meaningful & successful change.

Today we celebrate the birthday of Victoria Gray Adams, a grassroots organizer who helped build Mississippi's voting rights movement.
She worked with SNCC to expand voter registration efforts and later became a leader of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party.

Women Soul of the Nation
Georgia voters elected eight Black women to help lead our state. Their work will touch our lives every day, from how we educate our children and protect voting rights to what families pay to keep the lights on.
I’m celebrating these women and the people who organized, registered voters and showed up to make these victories possible.
Congratulations to Georgia’s newly elected leaders:
Keisha Lance Bottoms, governor
Tanya Miller, attorney general
Penny Brown Reynolds, secretary of state
Katherine E. Juhan-Arnold, commissioner of agriculture
Nikki Porcher, commissioner of labor
Lydia Powell, state school superintendent
Keisha Sean Waites, insurance commissioner
Shelia Edwards, Public Service Commission, District 5
I pray that you use the power entrusted to you to protect people’s rights, make their lives better and serve every Georgian with dignity and care.

The many beat the money. The people beat the corporations and special interests. Hope beat hate and fear.
Michigan, we won.

The South is not a "lost cause". It's underorganized, underfunded, and relentlessly suppressed & gerrymandered. And despite it all, Black Southern voters have shown up anyway to be the conscience of this country throughout our history. I hope people realize that.

He’s always had our backs. Now, he’ll be our voice in the Senate. Congratulations to our union brother @TroyJackson207 on his monumental victory. Maine is sending one of our own to Congress! ✊
ALT Troy Jackson, U.S. Senate, Maine. Victory!

I just want to say that tonight has renewed my hope for the future of this country, for the future my kids will inherit as they grow up, in a way that seemed impossible just two years ago. It feels really good.

SHERROD IS BACK! Congratulations, @SherrodBrown! Ohio knows the difference between someone who talks about workers and someone who spends his life fighting for us. The dignity of work belongs at the center of our politics. Tonight, Ohio put it there.
