Description

Join Sharona and Bosley as we delve into the details of the first two decisions needed in designing your grading architecture. We discuss the different types of assessments and evidence that we can use to measure student learning. Everything from traditional style exams and quizzes to the use of portfolios, student conversations and even "homework". Then we dive into proficiency scales. What are they? How are they used in alternative grading?Additionally we begin to touch on the labels used in proficiency scales. Whether your LMS system requires the use of categorical numbers as labels or you have the flexibility to use words or even emojis, labeling your proficiency scales impacts the meaning and usefulness of them.ResourcesAssessment ResourcesTransparency in Learning and TeachingOpen Middle Math QuestionsPerformance Assessment Resource BankCheckItWhen is A Number Not A Number? blog post by Robert TalbertThe Grading Conference - an annual, online conference exploring Alternative Grading in Higher Education and K-12.Some great resources to educate yourself about Alternative Grading:The Grading for Growth BlogThe Grading ConferenceThe Intentional Academia BlogRecommended Books on Alternative Grading:Grading for Growth, by Robert Talbert and David ClarkSpecifications Grading, by Linda NilsenGrading for Equity, by Joe FeldmanThe Grading Podcast publishes every week on Tuesday at 4 AM Pacific time, so be sure to subscribe and get notified of each new episode.
