Grading
Thoughts on Grading
A grade represents a valid and undiluted indicator of what a student knows and is able to do - mastery.
"When schools improve grading policies - for example, by disconnecting grades from behavior - student achievement increases and behavior improves dramatically." - Doug Reeves
"Grades are not compensation. Grades are communication: They are an accurate report of what happened." - Rick Wormeli
