| Abstract | Enacting an effective grading system that emphasizes the secondary student's learning process! This book challenges traditional grading practices and provides alternatives that can have direct impact on student success. By making subtle shifts toward standards-based grading systems, schools can reduce unnecessary course failures, provide students and their families a more accurate picture of current progress, and increase opportunities for successs. The author offers a range of grading reform strategies built from practical frameworks that are effective and simple to adapt. The many strengths of this book include: practical application of the existing research and evidence base for effective secondary grading reforms; a framework for schools and districts to apply and adapt failure prevention strategies such as early failure detection and meaningful, second-chance opportunities for student mastery; functional strategies and actions for shifting toward standards-based (referenced) grading without entirely abandoning letter grades; [and] countering resistance to change through a clearly-articulated plan for conducting schoolwide and classroom-level action research on the effectiveness of new or adjusted grading practices. |
