Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communicating about student achievement requires CALM grades - grades that are consistent, accurate, learning-focused and meaningful. To meet these four conditions, educators need to ask several essential questions: 1. To what extent am I confident that students in my school/district receive grades that are consistent, accurate, learning-focused, and meaningful? 2. To what extent am I confident that the grades I determine for my students accurately reflect my school/district's published learning goals and performance standards? 3. To what extent am I confident that what I do in grading is aligned with and contributes to my school/district's mission, vision and goals? If the answers are any less than extremely confident, educators need this revised third edition of A Repair Kit for Grading; 15 Fixes for Broken Grades because it has been extensively revised to provide the fixes to enable educators to move to that high level of confidence. There are many changes in this edition that reflect the new understandings that have occurred in the eleven-plus years since the second edition was written and hopefully make the ideas clearer and more helpful. The major changes in the third edition are as follows: o The fixes have been reworded so that they start with action verbs indicating what should be done (i.e., do first, don't second); o The fixes have all been rewritten to some extent with major revisions to fixes 1, 4, 7 and 8. o All new Educator Vignettes and policy/procedure examples for each fix; o The references have been updated so that they are mostly from 2016 or later.

Book excerpt: "Joe Feldman shows us how we can use grading to help students become the leaders of their own learning and lift the veil on how to succeed. . . . This must-have book will help teachers learn to implement improved, equity-focused grading for impact." —Zaretta Hammond, Author of Culturally Responsive Teaching & The Brain Crack open the grading conversation Here at last—and none too soon—is a resource that delivers the research base, tools, and courage to tackle one of the most challenging and emotionally charged conversations in today’s schools: our inconsistent grading practices and the ways they can inadvertently perpetuate the achievement and opportunity gaps among our students. With Grading for Equity, Joe Feldman cuts to the core of the conversation, revealing how grading practices that are accurate, bias-resistant, and motivational will improve learning, minimize grade inflation, reduce failure rates, and become a lever for creating stronger teacher-student relationships and more caring classrooms. Essential reading for schoolwide and individual book study or for student advocates, Grading for Equity provides A critical historical backdrop, describing how our inherited system of grading was originally set up as a sorting mechanism to provide or deny opportunity, control students, and endorse a "fixed mindset" about students’ academic potential—practices that are still in place a century later A summary of the research on motivation and equitable teaching and learning, establishing a rock-solid foundation and a "true north" orientation toward equitable grading practices Specific grading practices that are more equitable, along with teacher examples, strategies to solve common hiccups and concerns, and evidence of effectiveness Reflection tools for facilitating individual or group engagement and understanding As Joe writes, "Grading practices are a mirror not just for students, but for us as their teachers." Each one of us should start by asking, "What do my grading practices say about who I am and what I believe?" Then, let’s make the choice to do things differently . . . with Grading for Equity as a dog-eared reference.

Download or read book Grading Smarter Not Harder written by Myron Dueck and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All the talk of closing the achievement gap in schools obscures a more fundamental issue: do the grades we assign to students truly reflect the extent of their learning? In this lively and eye-opening book, educator Myron Dueck reveals how many of the assessment policies that teachers adopt can actually prove detrimental to student motivation and achievement and shows how we can tailor policies to address what really matters: student understanding of content. In sharing lessons, anecdotes, and cautionary tales from his own experiences revamping assessment procedures in the classroom, Dueck offers a variety of practical strategies for ensuring that grades measure what students know without punishing them for factors outside their control; critically examining the fairness and effectiveness of grading homework assignments; designing and distributing unit plans that make assessment criteria crystal-clear to students; creating a flexible and modular retesting system so that students can improve their scores on individual sections of important tests. Grading Smarter, Not Harder is brimming with reproducible forms, templates, and real-life examples of grading solutions developed to allow students every opportunity to demonstrate their learning. Written with abundant humor and heart, this book is a must-read for all teachers who want their grades to contribute to, rather than hinder, their students' success.

Download or read book What We Know About Grading written by Thomas R. Guskey and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grading is one of the most hotly debated topics in education, and grading practices themselves are largely based on tradition, instinct, or personal history or philosophy. But to be effective, grading policies and practices must be based on trustworthy research evidence. Enter this book: a review of 100-plus years of grading research that presents the broadest and most comprehensive summary of research on grading and reporting available to date, with clear takeaways for learning and teaching. Edited by Thomas R. Guskey and Susan M. Brookhart, this indispensable guide features thoughtful, thorough dives into the research from a distinguished team of scholars, geared to a broad range of stakeholders, including teachers, school leaders, policymakers, and researchers. Each chapter addresses a different area of grading research and describes how the major findings in that area might be leveraged to improve grading policy and practice. Ultimately, Guskey and Brookhart identify four themes emerging from the research that can guide these efforts: - Start with clear learning goals, - Focus on the feedback function of grades, - Limit the number of grade categories, and - Provide multiple grades that reflect product, process, and progress criteria. By distilling the vast body of research evidence into meaningful, actionable findings and strategies, this book is the jump-start all stakeholders need to build a better understanding of what works—and where to go from here.
