![Junior Justun Kim reads during the weekly designated independent reading time in teacher Melissa Laptalo's AP Language and Composition class. After much deliberation, the AP Language team is using a new system of grading coined as 'ungrading' that does not give assignments letter or number grades. According to teacher Alanna Williamson, the new system is designed to change students’ focus from just earning points to thinking about learning and growing. “It's a completely different way to reframe your thinking about your grade,” Williamson said. “It [the previous grading system] was very quantitative and this ‘Ungrading’ format makes you think about your skills on a qualitative level and how you're improving ... not how many points you need.” (Photo: Carissa Tsui)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/IMG_3764-1200x800.jpg)
