Thoughts on Grading
Purpose:
·        
To inform students and parents of progress,
areas of strengths and weaknesses
·        
Assessing student learning for the  teacher to know what concepts have been
grasped and which need remediation
% mastery:
·        
Progress, what is mastered and what is not
·        
Where students fall in a range compared to other
students
·        
Passing/Failing based on state and school system
standards
Rubrics:
·        
Allow for creativity, timeliness, use of time,
and demonstration of content knowledge
·        
Can be used where there would be ambiguity in
the grading 
·        
Best for project based assignments
·        
Outlines clear expectations.
