Garn education books value imagination, creativity, originality, and innovation. The critical question that many of our books address is “What actionable knowledge do we need to change the future now?” We are convinced that all those who work for the common good in the caring professions must be supported – especially public school teachers.
Beyond Grades: A Series on Grading and Feedback is essential reading for public school teachers who are resisting the corporatization of public education. This FREE ebook, Beyond Grades, is an adaptation from the web series on grading and feedback by author Russ Walsh.
