How to Grade for Learning (The Mindful School)

Skylight Professional Development

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. 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? These questions are answered thoroughly and in-depth in this 3rd edition of 15 Fixes for Broken Grades and the Discussion and Repair Guide.

Academic standards were designed to keep the focus on learning, rather than on testing. However, to keep instruction aligned with standards, teachers need to be able to accurately, fairly, consistently measure and record student learning. They need to understand the what, where, why, when, and who before they can tackle the how.This laminated Quick Reference Guide makes it easy for teachers to do just that. Developed by education consultant Ken O'Connor, it gives educators access to valuable guidance about easy-to-implement grading procedures, as well as standards-based report cards and progress reports for elementary, middle school, and high school students.
