How to Grade for Learning, K-12 by Ken Oconnor
This new edition of the bestseller demonstrates how to improve grading practices by linking grades with standards and establishing policies that better reflect student achievement.
"Once again, Ken O′Connor has addressed one of the most emotional issues in education: gradingThis book not only makes a compelling case for reformed grading practices, but also provides practical advice for the classroom teacher, school and system administrator, and policy maker at every level." -- Douglas Reeves, Chairman
"Unlike some books that are long on theory and short on implementation, this book combines convincing arguments and research with practical classroom procedures. Writing with the teacher in mind, O′Connor provides the detailed procedures and examples needed to implement standards-based grading in the classroom. After using these concepts and procedures for the past four years, I would recommend O′Connor′s approach to all teachers who believe that grades should clearly communicate actual student learning. For educators who want to make student grades more meaningful and useful to students, parents, and teachers, this is the book to read." -- Forrest Clark, Math Teacher
"O′Connor not only provides readers with valuable information regarding the theory, context, and purpose of grading, he also includes practical strategies and solutions for classroom implementation." -- Patricia Schenck, Academic Program Coordinator, Educator Preparation
"O′Connor′s patient, methodical approach, along with realistic examples, gives the reader a road map to define and implement grades that are truly based on academic achievement." -- Duane Coleman, Director of Secondary Curriculum and Instruction
"O′Connor has raised the stakes and opened more thinking about grading with this third edition, updated for the critically thinking, research-based teacher of our increasingly diverse classrooms. O′Connor presents clear advice on grading homework, moving beyond points and percentages, grading academic dishonesty, grading cooperative learning groups, gradebook formats, dealing with zeroes and late work, students re-doing work, students′ self-assessments, what grades can and cannot reveal, and much more." -- Rick Wormeli, Teacher Trainer
