With our conversations the last few months about grading, I have been reading bloggers that spend time writing just about that. This blog is from Alan Miller. Click here to read it. He calls the conversation about grading a "courageous one" to have. I agree.
The article is a bit longer....please don't stop here...than what I usually have in this PD blog.
Here are some questions to consider:
1. He says that he doesn't grade any of his formative assessments. What does he consider a formative assessment? How does he gauge student learning?
2. He deviates between assessment and grading. Do you agree with his deviation? Can this help you?
3. "My students cared more about the points than they did the class." His direct quote. How did he address that?
