Challenge traditional grading practices and adopt a new, more effective grading model for students that will close the gaps in student achievement and content mastery. This book provides the pathway for implementing evidence-based grading practices in schools through a straightforward, five-phase creative model: (1) preparation, (2) incubation, (3) insight, (4) evaluation, and (5) elaboration. Readers will follow a hypothetical curriculum team's journey through each phase of this process.

Benefits

• Give students meaningful information about their progress toward learning targets and expectations.
• Identify the concepts and perspectives to which curriculum team members must commit to successfully adopt evidence-based grading practices.
• Discover the important relationships between learning targets and grading, feedback and instruction, assessment and grading, and gradebooks and learning.
