One sentence on your purpose and/or passion: I want to help others be their best selves, which sometimes means helping them discover possibilities they hadn’t imagined.

Additional information such as awards, hobbies, and interesting facts: I’m a research and tech geek. I love to read. I’m an occasional editor. I like to travel, bike, experiment with new recipes, and I like to explore random stuff that seems interesting. I have two Substacks: Mental Peregrinations (https://elainejroberts.substack.com/) in which I ramble about whatever and Learning Out Loud (https://ejroberts.substack.com/) in which I write about things I’m learning related to education.

Welcome to Learner-Centered Spaces podcast produced by Mastery Portfolio. Our hosts are Starr Sackstein and Crystal Frommert. We are educators sharing our experiences of being the lone wolves of de-emphasizing grades in a traditional grades school. Starting the shift toward standards-based grading is no easy task when the community (colleagues, parents, students, and admin) is expecting a number grade on assignments and report cards.
