\"\"<\/a><\/span>Before I begin, I need to admit that this post is inspired from the experiences I have had so far when wearing my “parenting” hat. As a passionate educator, truly devoted to the ideas that 21st century learners are different and need a different experience, it can be tough to witness from the other side of the table.<\/p>\n

Grading is tough and so important. It will leave a mark on that student. It will define who they are in their identity as a student.<\/p>\n

Do we tell the 18 month old who is still a bit wobbly when walking that they are a “C” at walking? Would that be helpful?<\/p>\n

The best part of being a teacher and parent, is it makes you reflective and empathetic.<\/p>\n

So I paused.<\/p>\n

Wait a minute. Do my students feel this way? Do the parents of my students feel this way?<\/p>\n

Are my students aware of how to be successful? Am I supporting them? Are my “next steps useful?<\/p>\n

So – I am on a quest to improve how I grade, how I report and how I share this information. Is my grading\u00a0accurate, consistent, meaningful and supportive of learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I purchased the book A Repair Kit For Grading<\/u>\u00a0by Ken O’Connor – thanks for the suggestion @tjagdeo<\/a><\/span>. Book report to follow in another post.<\/p>\n

I hope to start a conversation about grading.<\/p>\n

I want to here from the experts on the ground, that’s you my Cohort 21 family.\u00a0 I always want to be improving in my practice so give me your best ideas, thoughts and learnings.<\/p>\n
