I found a conversation on TED that led me to this blog:

The Results Only Project is an education movement. Project participants are asked to commit to any or all of the following ROLE strategies:

-Eliminate worksheets -Eliminate homework -Use quizzes and tests as diagnostic tools only (do not count -scores against students) -Stop all or most direct instruction, replacing it with discovery activities and brief instructional videos -Design and use meaningful year-long projects that give students choice in how they demonstrate master learning -Create a workshop setting -Eliminate rules and consequences in your classroom -Replace grades with narrative feedback -Allow students to grade themselves
