John Camp has spent 29 years in education and is currently the Head of Teaching and Learning at New England Innovation Academy. He has an innovative approach to grades where he’s shifting away from more traditional grading and assessment formats in the name of focusing on competency and real-world application of skills, and he’s telling us all about it this week.

Listen in this week as I quiz John on why it’s worth re-evaluating our relationship with grades and how he’s experimenting with alternative assessment systems that don’t simply rely on letter grades. He’s sharing the benefits of focusing on a competency-based framework, what happens when we de-emphasize grades, and how you can begin moving the needle in this direction too if you feel inspired by his initiatives.

While you might derive a lot of pleasure from your work, it is critical that your sense of fun and play come from other sources as well. Being able to check tasks off your to-do list, help a student, or mentor a teacher all feel amazing, but they cannot be the only things in your life that bring you joy and delight.

I invite you to create fun for yourself in ways that put zero pressure on you to perform. Learn what happens when you only fill your play bucket from work, why there is no downside to experimenting with the power of play outside of work, and questions to ask yourself that will help you discover the power of play for you.

This week, I show you the impact of your self-identity and how to create awareness around it so you can change it if you wish. You no longer have to identify as a person who can’t handle hard things or isn’t cut out to be a leader. You get to sculpt your desired identity, and I’m guiding you through this process today.
