Watched this really interested TED video on game theory and human psychology of motivation. The parts about the inefficiency of traditional grades as opposed to leveling rang true in what I have seen motivate my girls. We already de-emphasize grades and set goals. I am wondering if leveling would be an even better way of doing things! It gives tangible goals and encouragement. Hmmm... interesting. Angel

yes, hmmmm. very interesting!
When I was teaching we did a total overhaul at our school...we looked into doing "leveling" but other schools(middle school, High school)/colleges don't recognize that, they need grades to apply to college. Just a thought, you may want to look into it before you go total level (I know the girls are way too young to worry about getting into college:)
