Very informative and useful. I'll be pouring over several studies cited in this text and it will continue to inform my decisions to structure grading for years to come.

Informative and useful - I still have some doubts about the practicality of equitable grading implementation in a system that does not share these values. For that reason, I think this is probably more useful for a department head or admin than a first-year teacher. I'll definitely be referring back to the book for its helpful templates and suggestions on how to grade more equitably.
