Failing Our Future is an indictment of the grading system in American schools and colleges—and a blueprint for how we can change it.
Eyler reveals how grades undermine intrinsic motivation, reduce learning to competition, and distract students from exploring ideas and interests. The toll is evident in rising rates of anxiety, depression, and academic stress tied to grades. Highlighting successful reform efforts, Eyler delivers a hopeful vision for redefining success in education. This compelling call to action equips parents, educators, and policymakers with the tools to create meaningful change for students.
Join us for a 4-week asynchronous, author-facilitated, communal reading experience on Dr. Eyler’s book, Failing Our Future: How Grades Harm Students, and What We Can Do About It.
