About
Aim for a target-based grading system and create stronger learning opportunities!
As grading, assessment, and reporting continue to be a relevant topic of discussion, this book creates a functional plan to move standards-based grading practices forward in schools. Teachers and teacher leaders will learn how to assess, grade, and report against specific learning targets rather than standards as a whole. Grounded in application to provide focus and clarity, this book features:
• Case studies of schools that have incorporated target-based assessment, feedback, grading, and reporting
• Practical examples to guide implementation
• Questions, checklists, illustrations, and audits of practice to showcase the work in action
