How to Grade for Learning: Linking Grades to Standards, 2018

The author provides eight guidelines for good grading:

·       Relate grading procedures to learning goals (i.e., standards).

·       Use clearly described criterion-referenced performance standards.

·       Limit the valued attributes included in grades to individual achievement.

·       Sample student performance—do not include all scores in grades.

·       Grade in pencil—keep records so they can be updated easily.

·       Determine, don’t just calculate grades.

·       Use quality assessment(s) and properly recorded evidence of achievement.

·       Discuss and involve students in assessment, including grading, throughout the teaching/learning process.
