The essential components of Grading, Reporting, and Professional Judgment in Elementary Classrooms both model and mirror effective practice: - preparing for learning, teaching, and assessment; - engaging students in assessment in support of their learning; and - reporting the learning to others. There is no single right answer, but rather many right ones that respect the structure of each unique subject area, support student learning and achievement, communicate effectively with a range of audiences, and fulfill our required legal and regulatory responsibilities. After the book A Fresh Look at Grading and Reporting in High Schools was published, many educators asked when the elementary edition would be available. This book was written in response to these requests and arises from the important work of transforming classroom assessment. It results from many years of working alongside elementary teachers, as well as school and system leaders. These student-, teacher-, administrator-, and parent-tested ideas will help you find your way to grading and reporting processes that are both possible and practical - not just during report card time, but all year long.

When we involve students in conferencing and reporting, they take a lead role by selecting and showing work samples, demonstrating skills, talking about their learning, and asking their audience for a response. In Conferencing and Reporting (the third book in the Knowing What Counts series), authors Kathleen Gregory, Caren Cameron, and Anne Davies provide examples of ways to support learning by involving students in the conferencing and reporting processes. Richard Stiggins explains in the foreword that the authors provide clear and specific instructions for what to do in preparation for, during, and after conferences to leave learners feeling pride at what has been accomplished, as well as a connection between that and their plans for what comes next in their learning. This book acknowledges that, in addition to teachers, students are data-based instructional decision makers, too. The first section of this book includes ideas for how to help students initiate informal conversations about their own learning. In the second section, the authors describe different types of conferences in which students review their learning, including conferences between a student, teacher, and parents, conferences about IEPs that include the student, and conferences between the teacher and the student. The third section provides a list of common questions educators may have regarding the content presented in the first two sections. The authors respond to these questions in detail and provide examples for ways educators can adapt the methods in question to serve their specific needs.
