A weekly editorial on the daily reality of teaching. New essays post on Thursday mornings.
Browse the full archive on Substack →Gradeness is the editorial and educational arm of MCISTY. Its charge is to translate the daily reality of teaching into lessons, tools, essays, and workflows that treat teachers as adults.
What that looks like in practice: a weekly Substack that names the parts of teaching nobody wants to say out loud. Journal products that respect student and teacher intelligence. AI-facing resources built to help teachers use AI thoughtfully, to sharpen their lessons without replacing their judgment.
Gradeness is written by a working teacher for working educators. Every essay, every tool, every workflow is authored, verified, and defended in one voice.
To the teachers who are still doing the work honestly, who still know their students' names, who still write feedback that means something. Gradeness was built for you.
