Why are we still grading students like it’s 1950? In this short clip, educator and Montessorian Andrew Faulstich shares how Montessori assessment shifts the focus from grades and test scores to real, meaningful work. Instead of measuring learning through standardized exams, Montessori middle school students engage in authentic assessment, portfolio review, peer feedback, and interest-based projects. These tools help students build confidence, independence, and ownership of their growth. If you’re an educator, school leader, or parent tired of chasing grades, homework stress, and standardized test pressure, this conversation offers a clear alternative. Learn how multi-age classrooms, project-based learning, and a mentoring culture build real-world skills and a more profound understanding in students of all abilities. 🎧 Watch this short video and rethink what actual student growth and education reform can look like in today’s schools.
