Grading for Impact

Zusatztext

<p><strong><em>Aim for a target-based grading system and create stronger learning opportunities! </em></strong><br><br> Do you wish there was more clarity when it comes to measuring student progress and learning? What if there was a way to utilize grading and assessment to focus on learning rather than performance, and the process rather than the product?  <br><br> As grading, assessment, and reporting continue to be relevant topics of discussion, this book helps you create a functional plan to elevate and advance standards-based grading practices. Teachers and administrators will learn how to assess, grade, and report against specific learning targets rather than standards as a whole to make skill acquisition the highest priority. Grounded in application to provide focus and clarity, this book features:  </p><ul><li>Real case studies of schools that have incorporated target-based assessment, feedback, grading, and reporting</li><li>Practical examples to guide implementation</li><li>Questions, checklists, illustrations, and audits of practice to showcase the work in action</li><li>An accessible format and layout that support both immediate implementation and long-term goals  </li></ul><p>Despite being a topic that generates emotion and resistance to change, target-based assessment builds the foundation for a learner-centered system that provides clear expectations and feedback for teachers, students, and parents.</p> "Grading for Impact <em>is a simple and straightforward guide to re-thinking grading based on mastery of specific skills and concepts rather than broadly-written standards. Real-world examples of teachers struggling with--and answering--the old questions are included: "How do we grade fairly and accurately?" and "How do we use grades as an instructional strategy?""</em> <br><strong>Joseph Staub, High School Teacher <br> Downtown Magnets High School, CA  </strong><br><br> "Most stakeholders agree that report cards arent enough to show what our students are learning in school, but changing the traditional grading system is a task that requires careful planning and challenging discussions. Grading for Impact shows educators how to start and plan the discussions that will result in genuine learning experiences for students." <br><strong>Ernie Rambo, Virtual Learning Community Coordinator <br> Nevada National Board Professional Learning Institute</strong><br>
