About this Item

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Communicating about student achievement requires CALM grades - grades that are consistent, accurate, learning-focused and meaningful. To meet these four conditions, educators need to ask several essential questions: 1. To what extent am I confident that students in my school/district receive grades that are consistent, accurate, learning-focused, and meaningful 2. To what extent am I confident that the grades I determine for my students accurately reflect my school/district's published learning goals and performance standards 3. To what extent am I confident that what I do in grading is aligned with and contributes to my school/district's mission, vision and goals If the answers are any less than extremely confident, educators need this revised third edition of A Repair Kit for Grading; 15 Fixes for Broken Grades because it has been extensively revised to provide the fixes to enable educators to move to that high level of confidence. There are many changes in this edition that reflect the new understandings that have occurred in the eleven-plus years since the second edition was written and hopefully make the ideas clearer and more helpful. The major changes in the third edition are as follows: o The fixes have been reworded so that they start with action verbs indicating what should be done (i.e., do first, don't second); o The fixes have all been rewritten to some extent with major revisions to fixes 1, 4, 7 and 8. o All new Educator Vignettes and policy/procedure examples for each fix; o The references have been updated so that they are mostly from 2016 or later.
