Changing the Grade
Autor Cornue, Jonathanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 ian 2017
Many educators agree that the 100-point grading model is not always a reliable way to evaluate student learning. But is there another way to more accurately and equitably grade students and provide high-quality information to parents while fostering student learning? If so, why haven't school districts across the country changed their practices?
In Changing the Grade, author and educator Jonathan Cornue presents a detailed model for developing a more reliable, standards-based grading system--including 30 steps to guide you through the process. In addition to identifying and addressing the barriers to change--such as concerns about how colleges and employers will interpret an alternative grading model--Cornue offers a concrete structure for changing the grading system, providing guidance on:
- Thinking in a new way about why grades are given and the purpose of a report card grade;
- Identifying what needs to be changed and what actions must be taken to facilitate the change;
- Building a team of stakeholders--including teachers, principals, and guidance counselors--to lead the change process;
- Developing the new standards-based grading structure;
- Designing standards-based assignments and assessments that align with a new grading structure
- Avoiding grade inflation; and
- Getting buy-in from teachers and other staff members, principals, administrators, the board of education, and the community by demonstrating that the change process is intentional, research-based, student-focused, and permanent.
The book also includes helpful samples of standards-based gradebooks, homework assignments, rubrics, and report cards.
If you are interested in making a systemic and systematic shift to a high-quality grading structure that is far less subjective than many commonly found in schools, consider Changing the Grade.
