In every school working to shift their grading practices, fires inevitably ignite. Some are healthy—fueled by innovation, purpose, and the drive to better serve students. Others spark confusion, resistance, and inaccuracies. The Fall STAGR 2025 Virtual Conference is your guide to navigating both.

This year’s theme, Fires in Grading: From Lighting the Healthy Ones to Extinguishing Those That Destroy Student Learning, offers a full day of powerful learning focused on clarity, consistency, and community in grading reform. With nationally recognized keynote Rick Wormeli kicking off the day, plus breakout sessions, a bold feature session with Ken O’Connor, and an interactive fireside chat, you’ll gain both the inspiration and the practical tools needed to move your work forward—whether you’re just beginning or deep into implementation.

Together, we’ll:

• Expose and tackle the common missteps that fuel grading confusion.
• Debunk myths about subjectivity and professional judgment in grading.
• Explore proven practices to build trust, communicate with communities, and embed students in the process.
  
  

Walk away with field-tested policies, strategies, and examples that work in real schools—not just theory.

Bonus: All individual and school registrations now include copies of the Fires in Grading book to support sustained learning beyond the conference. Books will be mailed 2 weeks prior to the conference.

Join educators and leaders across the country for a timely, honest, and solution-focused experience that will reignite your purpose and equip you to lead real change.
