| Standard Based Grading and Reporting
By Ken O’Connor 1st - 2nd December 2012, Warsaw |
| Day 1 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Standards-Based Grading “Nothing really changes until the grade book and the report card changes.” Curriculum, instruction, and assessment have increasingly become standards-based but parallel changes in grading and reporting have been slow, especially in middle and high schools. The session will focus on eight guidelines for grading which emphasize learning, make grades and report cards more meaningful, and really make a difference to student achievement and attitude when applied in classrooms. The focus will then shift to eleven guidelines for standards-based reporting. Issues that will be addressed include purpose, content standards, performance standards, learning skills/work habits, comments and student and parent involvement. Participant Outcomes
