  1. Grading and Feedback Work Team Year in Review

  2. The Kleenex Effect on Grades

  3. Strategic Plan Goals • Research and implement improved grading practices that provide feedback that clearly communicates student performance related to course goals, standards, and Mission-related outcomes. • Increase parent involvement and communication regarding assessment and assessment results(to begin June 2012) • Review and revise student progress reporting systems to communicate student growth toward Stage 1 desired results and criteria in all courses (including longitudinal rubric development)

  4. Participants • Dr. Randy Eikel • Terry Martinez • Kevin Beckner • Martha Leader • Dr. Becky Litherland • Nancy Urnes • Bridgett Kovis • Beth Knes • Patrick Shelton • Dr. Bonnie Maxey • Jason Adams

  5. Research and Literature Reviews Districts Nation Wide • Grain Valley School District, Missouri • Moraga School District, California • San Diego Public Schools, California • Park Hill School District, Missouri • Middleton Public Schools, Rhode Island • Littleton Public Schools, Colorado • Montgomery County R-2, Missouri • Derry Township School District, Pennsylvania • Santa Barbara Public Schools, California • School District of Marshfield, Wisconsin • Paramus Public Schools, New Jersey • Kirkwood School District, Missouri

  6. What is the Purpose of Grading? What Influences Grades? Why is Grading Important?

  7. Our Hope: What is the purpose of grading? • Accurately reflects and informs what students have learned • Continual and ongoing • Informs instruction • Student self-assessment, reflection and goal setting • Removes bias • Not punitive • Immediate feedback given • Consistency • Assesses multiple areas separately….academic vs. behavior • All students have an opportunity to learn • Support learning

  8. Our Hope: What Influence Grades? • What students have learned relative to standards • Evidence of transfer • Multiple measures • Accurate data provided • Evidence of transfer

  9. Our Hope: What Is Grading Important? • Communication about learning • Common understanding of standards and how they are measured • Young people are given a sense of achievement and capable of being successful • Tool for future learning • Reflect “all students” learning

  10. This We Believe About Grading Practices • Principle #1: Anything that distorts the ability of the grade to accurately communicate student achievement should be excluded from the grade calculation. • Example: Zeros, Late work, dishonesty, comparisons to others, extra credit, and behavior. • Principle #2: Academics and Learning Behaviors should be separate in grade calculation. • Principle #3: A grade is best communicated by individual standard. • Principle #4: Grades should reflect: • Current level of achievement reality rather than average of performance over time. • “Collection” of best evidence regarding student’s achievement of standard. • Example: Alternative assessments, professional judgment, retaking assessments.

  11. Five Year Plan: Communication • Grading Summits (beginning next year) • Teacher Feedback • Community Feedback • Student Feedback

  12. Five Year Plan: Professional Learning • Common Vocabulary • Grading Practices • Best Assessment Practices • Support with Report Card

  13. Five Year Plan: Report Card Development • Aligned with Common Core • Electronic • Developed and rolled out in stages • K-5 • Middle • High School Or • K-2 • 3-5 • Middle • High School
