About this title

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"
