Description
Cathy Vatterott examines and debunks traditional practices of grading in K-12 schools, offering a new paradigm for standards-based grading that focuses on student mastery of content. She draws on her experience as a teacher, principal, and parent to provide concrete examples from elementary, middle, and high schools. Rethinking Grading shows how standards-based grading can authentically reflect student progress and learning, and significantly improve both teaching and learning. This approach challenges the common practice of grading based on task completion and behavior, instead focusing on what students have learned. By exploring this alternative approach to assessment, educators can create a more effective and meaningful way of evaluating student work, leading to better outcomes for all students.
