Communicating about student achievement requires accurate, consistent and meaningful grades.
Educators interested in examining and improving grading practices should ask the following questions:
Am I confident that students in my classroom receive consistent, accurate and meaningful grades that support learning?
Am I confident that the grades I assign students accurately reflect my school or districts published performance standardsanddesiredlearning outcomes?
In many schools, the answers to these questions often range from not very to not at all. When thats the case, grades are broken and teachers and schools need a repair kit to fix them. A Repair Kit for Grading: 15 Fixes for Broken Grades, 2/e gives teachers and administrators 15 ways to make the necessary repairs.
