"When well constructed, grading scales with fewer categories that describe clearly distinct levels of student mastery or proficiency are not only more reliable, but also offer students better information to guide improvements" -@tguskey & @SusanBrookhart #sblchat #AtAssessment

Never thought my J’s would strike up so many conversations with students. Had some awesome convos today with kids. #kanelandpride #RelationshipsAreKey #Jordans

[Dr. Josh Kunnath @JoshKunnath]

The statements “Your grade reflects your learning in this class” and “earn extra credit points for showing school spirit on Fridays” can’t peacefully coexist in a classroom.

It’s one or the other.

Pick a side.

Assessing and communicating student learning is a 👊qualitative👊 endeavor (not a quantitative calculation).

As a former math teacher and 'numbers' person, this is a hard one to swallow. But, it's the truth.

The best teachers I know formatively assess students for a purpose beyond merely entering a number into the grade book. #sblchat

[Matt Townsley @mctownsley]

Evidence-based and full of illustrative examples, this book bridges research and theory on grading and assessment with classroom practices for teachers and fresh perspectives for ed. researchers studying grading practices. @routledgebooks

If essential standards are just that, then reteaching and reassessment when students are not yet proficient are essential as well. No class designation (regular, honors, etc) precludes this. #sblchat

[Making Grades Matter: SBG in a Secondary PLC @GradesMatterSBG]

This is great! We wrote Making Grades Matter with a book study format in mind. Each chapter ends with individual and team self-assessment continuums and templates for action planning. #AtAssessment #sblchat #atplc

"I've been thinking a lot about how effective coaching can support adult learning principles. 🤔 I created this resource using information from the Google Certified Coach curriculum, and I added some sample questions." —Instructional leader @roxi_thompson

In what may be a silver lining for schools previously considering a transition to standards-based grading, the pandemic may help stakeholders better understand “why” SBG will better communicate student learning separate from non-cognitive behaviors. 👇
