Teacher certification reciprocity agreements vary between states and individual circumstances.

Primary Purpose
• “the primary purpose of…grades…
(is) to communicate student
achievement to students, parents,
school administrators,
post-secondary institutions and
employers.” and
• To provide teachers with information
for instructional planning.
Taken from “Reporting Achievement at the Secondary School Level: What and How?”, in Communicating Student
Learning: ASCD Yearbook 1996, p. 120.
What makes grading so
hard?
• Teacher preparation programs seldom include course work or
even discussions of recommended practices for grading
students in general, much less for students who may be
struggling learners. As a result, teachers at all grade levels
grapple with issues of fairness in grading.
• Despite the magnitude of this problem, few recommendations
for grading struggling learners can be found in the research
literature or in education policy.

Urban Legends
• I can’t fail a special education
student.
• I give all my Life Skills students an
85.
• The report card grade does not really
mean anything.

Urban Legends
• The grade on the report card can’t be less
than the IEP mastery level (default 70%)
• I teach a lot in my classroom, but I can
only grade the things that are on the IEP.
• I don’t do the grades for my special
education students in my classroom, the
special education teacher does that for
me.
What’s the
problem??
• Some students are not getting REAL
grades.
• Multiple court cases regarding failing
students who are not receiving
appropriate specially designed instruction
or students only get “A’s” and it doesn’t
truly reflect how he/she really performs in
relation to the curriculum

What does the law really
say?
• Neither the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
(IDEA) nor any other federal education laws contain
requirements for grading. Therefore, each state has
discretion on the issue.
• The TEC is the set of state laws our state legislators have
passed that relate to education. ARD committees do not
have the authority to override state laws. The Texas
Administrative Code (TAC) is the set of rules that the State
Legislature has authorized Texas Education Agency (TEA)
or the State Board to write. ARD committees must also
follow these rules.
• The state statutes apply to all public school students in
Texas regardless of special education eligibility.
Local Grading Policies
TEC §28.0216
(1) “must require a classroom teacher to assign a grade that
reflects the students’ relative mastery of an assignment;
[and]
(2) may not require a classroom teacher to assign a
minimum grade for an assignment without regard to the
student’s quality of work.”
(3) may allow a student a reasonable opportunity to make up
or redo a class .
