  4. Standards Based Grading

  5. Teachers turn things in late all the time, as do workers in every profession. The idea that “You can’t get away with turning work in late in the real world, mister” isn’t true. - Wormeli, 2006

  6. No studies support the use of low grades or marks as punishments. Instead of prompting greater effort, low grades more often cause students to withdraw from learning. - Guskey & Bailey, 2001

  7. Example:91,91,91,91,91,91,71,50,91,91Total = 849, Mean = 84.9, Final grade = C Educators must abandon the average, or arithmetic mean, as the predominant measurement of student achievement. - Reeves, 2000

  8. A zero has an underserved and devastating influence, so much so that no matter what the student does, the grade distorts the final grade as a true indicator of mastery. Mathematically and ethically this is unacceptable. - Wormeli, 2006

  9. The key questions is, “What information provides the most accurate depiction of students’ learning at this time?” In nearly all cases, the answer is “the most current information.” - Guskey, 1996a Reference chart for an example.

  10. We must constantly remind ourselves that the ultimate purpose of evaluation is to enable students to evaluate themselves. Educators may have bee practicing this skill to the exclusion of learners; we need to shift part of that responsibility to students. Fostering students’ ability to direct and redirect themselves must be a major goal…or what is education for? - Costa, 1991

  11. “Students see their schoolwork as a game they play for grades.” - Winger, 2005

  12. “Of all the things we do as teachers, few have the potential for creating more problems and miscommunication than grading.” - Stiggins, 2004

  13. We say we want them all to learn: We don’t say we want them to learn fast or the first time. If some students have to work harder and take longer before they demonstrate proficiency, so be it. In the final analysis, if they demonstrate proficiency, we give them the grade that reflects it. - DuFour, 2007

  14. Additional “bonus” assignments or tasks provided for the purpose of “boosting” grades are not appropriate as they distort the proper assessment of a student’s knowledge, skill, and understanding in relation to the learning outcomes for that course.
