What does a grade mean in your classroom? Is an “A” really an “A”? An overview of a grading workshop presented by Amy Hammer-Scronce

Some things to think about.. How many of you feel your grades in school were a true reflection of your knowledge learned? How many of you feel that you award grades grades to your current students that actually reflect their learned knowledge? How do you feel about grading students based on ability, behavior, or motivation?

What makes up a student’s grade in your classroom? Homework? Quizzes/tests? Projects? Effort? Attendance? Behavior? Journals?

Objectives To help educators take a closer look at their own grading practices To remind educators of the impacts grades have on our students’ lives To compare current grading practices with recommended research

and Goals… To figure out what we should be assessing. To figure out how we should be grading it. To find solutions to the most common flaws in grading practices today. To learn what research has to say about it.

How are we going to do this? History of grading Study of research and look at recommended practice Activities

Expectations Learn a lot. Think a lot. Receive tips that you can actually start using today. Question what you’ve been doing all these years.
