admin How to Grade for Learning: Linking Grades to Standards
Teachers will never look at grading the same way again. In this new edition of a SkyLight best seller, O`Connor shows how to link grades and standards. He updates his eight models, which assist teachers in designing and conducting grading practices that help students feel more in control of their academic success. This comprehensive resource defines the purpose of each guideline, illustrates an example, discusses and analyzes key elements, and supplies overviews of various grading programs and calculation strategies.
`In How to Grade for Learning, Ken O`Connor combines the thoroughness of a scholar with the pragmatism of a veteran educator as he explains the relationship among content standards, performance standards, assignments, assessments, and grades.` –Jay McTighe, Author and Consultant
