Summary


Teacher Vignette


Policy Example



Don't reduce marks on "work" submitted late; provide support for the learner


Student Involvement


Summary


Teacher Vignette


Policy Example



Don't give points for extra credit or use bonus points; seek only evidence that more work has resulted in a higher level of achievement


Student Involvement


Summary


Teacher Vignette


Policy Examples



Don't punish academic dishonesty with reduced grades; apply other consequences and reassess to determine actual level of achievement


Student Involvement


Summary


Teacher Vignette


Policy Example



Don't consider attendance in grade determination; report absences separately


Summary


Teacher Vignettes


Policy Example



Don't include group scores in grades; use only individual achievement evidence


Summary


Teacher Vignette


Policy Example



Fixes for Low-Quality or Poorly Organized Evidence



Don't organize information in grading records by assessment methods or simply summarize into a single grade; organize and report evidence by standards/learning goals


Summary


Teacher Vignettes


Policy Example



Don't assign grades using inappropriate or unclear performance standards; provide clear descriptions of achievement expectations


Student Involvement


Summary


Teacher Vignette


Policy Example



Don't assign grades based on a student's achievement compared to other students; compare each student's performance to preset standards


Summary


Teacher Vignette


Policy Example



Don't rely on evidence gathered using assessments that fail to meet standards of quality; rely only on quality assessments


Summary


Teacher Vignette


Policy Example



Fixes for Inappropriate Grade Calculation



Don't rely only on the mean; consider other measures of central tendency and use professional judgment


Summary


Teacher Vignette


Policy Example



Don't include zeros in grade determination when evidence is missing or as punishment, use alternatives, such as reassessing to determine real achievement, or use "I" for Incomplete or Insufficient Evidence


Student Involvement


Summary


Teacher Vignette


Policy Example



Fixes to Support Learning



Don't use information from formative assessments and practice to determine grades; use only summative evidence


Student Involvement


Summary


Teacher Vignette


Policy Examples



Don't summarize evidence accumulated over time when learning is developmental and will grow with time and repeated opportunities; in those instances, emphasize more recent achievement


Summary


Teacher Vignette


Policy Example



Don't leave students out of the grading process. Involve students; they can-and should-play key roles in assessment and grading that promote achievement
