Assessment, Grading, and Record Keeping in a Standards-Based System (Workshop)
 

• What to include in grades,
  


• How to compute final scores that accurately reflect student learning,
  


• More precise ways of keeping records so that they truly represent student achievement, and
  


• Options for progress reports.

Most classroom grading systems today are so imprecise that few grades are meaningful. Averaging scores to create course grades distorts the picture of a student's proficiency and fails to provide teachers, students, and parents with an accurate picture of what a student really knows or might do to improve.

This three-day workshop explores the basic forms of classroom assessment and the strengths and weaknesses of each. Participants learn how record keeping and reporting by standards-based topics unmask the picture of a student's true proficiency.
