Over the next 5-6 weeks I will be sharing reviews and information from an online P.D. course based on the book, "Grading Smarter, Not Harder" by Myron Dueck. During my studies and projects for the N.J. E.X.C.E.L. my interest has been sparked by the current research and publications of assessments and grade reporting, and how it is changing. Thomas R. Guskey's "On Your Mark" is an interesting, and easy, read. He challenges the conventional ways we have been grading and report in school over the last 100 years.
Below are topics I will be reviewing and sharing as discussion points from the course:
Week 1: Unit Plan and Learning Targets
Week 2: Issues with Traditional, one-shot unit test structure, development of reassessment structure
Week 3: Separating Behaviors and Academics when reporting
Week 4: Purpose of Homework (practice, reinforcement, and preparation)
Week 5: Creativity and Student Ownership
