What I'm Reading This Week #3

I was interested to hear that Mo'ne Davis, of LLWS fame, is now a first year at Hampton University, an HBCU in Hampton, VA. You can find out more about how she got there in the following article:

• Roscoe Nance, Superstar Mo'ne Davis 'Just One of the Girls' on Hampton's Softball Team. Diverse Education. September 25, 2019.

And check out the short documentary that Spike Lee made about her:

• Mo'Ne Davis: I Throw Like a Girl. Produced by Spike Lee. October 21, 2014. https://vimeo.com/110034341

I was also pleased to come across the following article that describes how moving from a traditional grading system to a mastery system has the potential to create a more equitable grading environment. This is why I can't go back to a traditional system now!

• Sara Weissman, How Can Colleges Make Grading More Equitable? Diverse: Issues in Education. September 27, 2019.
