The Pointless Classroom with Gary Chu | Season 2 Episode 6

“Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
— Albert Einstein

Gary Chu is a high school mathematics teacher in a racially and culturally diverse suburb outside of Chicago. He is passionate about disrupting inequities. You can follow him on Twitter at @mrgarychu. Gary contributed a chapter to the book Ungrading: Why Rating Students Undermines Learn (and What to Do Instead) titled “The Pointless Classroom: A Math Teacher’s Ironic Choice Not in Not Calculating Grades”.

Throughout this series, I will be interviewing the contributors to this book to help gain a better understanding of what Ungrading is and how it can be applied.

In this episode, Gary will discuss how he engages his students in deeper learning, promotes relationships, and provides students feedback that helps students gain a better understanding of the ways mathematics can be used beyond the four walls of the school.

This the sixth episode and final episode of this series where you will hear from the chapter authors themselves who will help us dive deeper into their ideas about assessment and its impact on teaching and learning allowing us to go beyond the curriculum.
