Deeper Learning New York

Mineola has transformed traditional structures of grading, assessment, and time into a dynamic, student-centered experience. This session will walk participants through our personalized learning journey—from a PreK–2 badging system that eliminated report cards to our innovative high school model, Build Your Own Grade (BYOG). Participants will leave with a fresh perspective, practical ideas and tools for redesigning grading and assessment systems in your own context. We will explore how badges, proficiency scales, and scoreboards build student agency across grade levels. Learn how to implement systems where students collect, reflect on, and defend evidence of learning. Gain insight into Mineola’s Build Your Own Grade model and how it fosters voice, choice, and self-direction.
