Synopsis:

Create and sustain a learning environment where students thrive and stakeholders are accurately informed of student progress. Clarify the purpose of grades, craft a vision statement aligned with this purpose, and discover research-based strategies to implement effective grading and reporting practices. Identify policies and practices that render grading inaccurate, and understand the role grades play in students' future success and opportunities.

Review: "Guskey gives us not only a masterful synthesis of what's known about grading, but also a powerful plea for educators to do battle with America's student-harmful grading practices. His rationale is clear, his arguments are persuasive, and his call to battle is almost irresistible." -- W. James Popham "Professor Emeritus, UCLA"
