- Teachers have access to tools for attendance tracking, messaging students and parents, developing and sharing lesson plans, creating and grading assignments, customizing gradebooks and class structures, and communicating with students and families.
- Administrators can access attendance reports and trends at the district, school, class, and student levels along with comparison data and exportable files for further analysis.
Grading and reporting of results
This document outlines a grading and reporting plan for evaluating student success. It discusses how marks will be calculated based on major tests, projects, labs, and quizzes. Final marks are the total of term marks and exam marks. Grading is meant to communicate student achievement, provide self-evaluation, and select students for programs. Marks can be reported as percentages, pass/fail, or scales. Computerized grading programs make record keeping easier and allow flexible reporting formats like displays, reports, and portfolios.
Importance of Grades
Grading serves to evaluate student achievement, determine competence after instruction, and become part of permanent records. Common grading systems include numerical, letter grades, and rubrics. When assigning grades, teachers determine steps like averaging scores on assignments and tests. Nonachievement factors can be measured and reported separately from grades through notes on things like effort, behavior, and work habits. The grade book efficiently records scores and calculates grades, and progress is reported to families.
A? B? C? Assigning Meaningful Grades for ELLs
This research-oriented presentation summarizes current best practices in grading, emphasizes why these practices are essential (especially for ELLs), and provides recommendations for teachers to help them avoid common pitfalls in grading while adopting policies and procedures that will increase motivation and encourage academic success in their ELLs.
Grading and reporting
Grading and reporting are integral parts of the instructional process that communicate student achievement. Effective grading guidelines include clarifying procedures, basing grades only on achievement, obtaining valid evidence, properly weighting assessments, and avoiding bias. The functions of grading systems are to enhance learning, report progress to parents and guardians, and provide information for administrative and guidance purposes such as promotion decisions, counseling, and reporting achievements.
Grading in Education
The document discusses different aspects of grading systems in education. It defines grading as a process of evaluating student performance on exams using scales with letters or numbers. There are different types of grading systems such as percentage grading from 0-100, letter grading from A-F, norm-referenced grading comparing students, and mastery grading based on attaining a specified level. Direct grading involves directly awarding letter grades without scores while indirect grading uses marks that are then converted to grades. Relative grading compares student performance within a group/class using statistical methods to determine grade ranges, while absolute grading is based on pre-specified standards for performance levels.

2010 ohio tif meeting creating a comprehensive teacher effectiveness system
This document discusses approaches to developing comprehensive teacher evaluation systems using student achievement data. It outlines five propositions for validating such systems and the design claims and evidence needed to support each proposition. It then describes different approaches used across the US, including student learning objectives, subject- and grade-alike measures, universal pre-/post-tests, and value-added composites. Both advantages and disadvantages are provided for each approach. Finally, it discusses examples from Minneapolis and Edina that use value-added measures and standardized tests to evaluate teacher effectiveness.
Assessment
Formative assessments are intended to help develop students and provide feedback to teachers on student strengths and weaknesses. Summative assessments make judgments on student learning and accomplishments, such as test grades and report cards. Good assessments draw on multiple sources of information, provide useful feedback to both students and teachers, and allow students to show their capabilities under good conditions. However, assessments also present challenges for teachers related to time, validity, credibility, and influence on curriculum and teaching based on a teacher's knowledge and training.
Grading & reporting systems complete presentation
This document compares and contrasts norm-referenced and criterion-referenced grading systems. Norm-referenced systems compare students to each other, which can make learning competitive. Criterion-referenced systems compare students to learning standards regardless of peers' performance. The document discusses advantages and disadvantages of each system and argues that criterion-referenced, or standards-based, grading more accurately measures individual student learning.
2018 Fall - Core Curriculum Assessment at MVC
This document provides a quick tutorial on core curriculum assessment at Mountain View College. It explains that assessment evaluates how effectively courses teach required skills to students. The college assesses six skills annually on a two-year cycle based on requirements. Faculty design assignments in their courses to measure the relevant skills, and student work is randomly selected and evaluated using rubrics. Results are reported to improve student learning and meet regulatory requirements. The role of faculty is to teach the objectives, create suitable assignments, and provide student work for assessment.
ClassScape
217,555 students across 652 schools in 65 counties registered for an online classroom assessment system called ClassScape. The system provides over 56,254 assessment items aligned to curriculum objectives to help teachers evaluate student understanding, identify strengths and weaknesses, and monitor progress. Teachers can create custom tests or use pre-made tests, set flexible schedules, and get reports to guide instruction while students practice computer skills.
Grading System
The document discusses various methods of student assessment and reporting, including traditional letter grades, pass/fail systems, checklists of objectives, letters to parents/guardians, portfolios, and parent-teacher conferences. It notes strengths and limitations of each approach. Traditional letter grades are easy to understand but provide limited information. Pass/fail systems use a dichotomous grading scale. Checklists of objectives indicate student achievement levels for each learning objective. Letters to parents supplement grades but have limitations. Portfolios show student work and progress over time. Parent-teacher conferences facilitate information sharing but many parents do not attend.
Grading system in school education cbse roopendra
This document provides an overview of the grading system used by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in India. It discusses the history and introduction of grading in education. Under the CBSE system, students receive grades for scholastic areas like subjects as well as co-scholastic areas like life skills, attitudes, and co-curricular activities. Grades are awarded on a point scale of A+, A, B+, B, C, etc. The grading system aims to provide a more comprehensive evaluation than marks alone and reduce pressure on students. However, some disadvantages are that grades may not accurately reflect performance and lack incentives.
Evaluation
This document discusses various topics related to evaluation in physical sciences. It defines key terms like measurement, assessment, and evaluation. It explains the need for evaluation to understand how well educational objectives are achieved and to provide feedback for improvement. There are two main types of evaluation: formative evaluation which occurs during learning to monitor progress, and summative evaluation which occurs at the end to make judgements on learning. Diagnostic evaluation identifies weaknesses, and remedial teaching provides additional instruction. Continuous and comprehensive evaluation assesses all aspects of a student's development over time. Performance-based assessment measures a student's ability to apply their knowledge and skills. An assessment framework outlines the objectives, indicators, methods, proofs, and overall plan for evaluating
Pbl rubrics
This document discusses rubrics and their use in project-based learning. It defines rubrics as tools that provide a common vocabulary for assessment and facilitate peer review. Good project-based learning problems relate to the real world, require decision-making, are multi-stage, and incorporate higher-order thinking skills. Rubrics can be used to evaluate project-based learning problems according to these criteria. The document also explores different types of rubrics and considerations for developing effective rubrics.
Assigning grades new
This document discusses different aspects of grading systems. It defines grades as reflecting a student's academic progress. It describes informal evaluation as unplanned feedback and formal evaluation as more standardized written feedback. Formative evaluation provides feedback to students, while summative evaluation determines the quality of an outcome. The document discusses different symbols used for reporting grades and different frames of reference for grading, such as norm-referenced grading which compares students and criterion-referenced grading which compares students to performance levels. It emphasizes the importance of informing students about the grading system.

Rubrics
Rubrics are tools that define the criteria and grading standards for assessments and assignments. They communicate expectations and allow for objective evaluation. There are two main types: holistic rubrics provide a single overall score based on impression, while analytic rubrics break assignments into components and score each separately, providing more detailed feedback. Both help instructors grade consistently and clarify expectations for students.
Using Exam Data for Scholarly Activities
Presented by Dan Thompson, Manager of Instructional Design and Educational Technology, Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences
Exam statistics are far more than an evaluation of student knowledge and retention. Assessment data provide limitless insights into curricular structure, our performance as instructors, and teaching methods. While there is great utility in reviewing how we can improve our teaching and assessment methods, we are selling ourselves short as professionals if we stop there. The robust statistics that can be extracted from student assessment can also be used for scholarly research projects and to prove our successes in the classroom. This presentation will address the process of utilizing ExamSoft categorization techniques to both harness useful exam statistics and then apply them in data-driven research projects—creating scholarly activities to build a professional portfolio and prepare for promotion and tenure.
Assesment in education
This document discusses grading systems in education. It defines grading systems as processes that classify student performance levels into letter grades or other categories. Grading communicates student assessment results and should be integrated into instruction. There are different types of grading systems such as absolute, direct, and relative. Absolute grading assigns grades based on pre-determined score cutoffs, like 90-100 for an A.
Roles of assessment_in_making_instructional_decisions (1)
Formative, summative, and diagnostic assessments are used to evaluate students at different stages of learning. Diagnostic assessment evaluates students' skills and knowledge at the start of a course. Formative assessment monitors student learning through ongoing feedback. Summative assessment evaluates student achievement and progress at the end of a unit or course for grading purposes. Together these assessment types provide teachers with information to support and improve student learning.
Assesment in education
The document discusses grading systems in education. It defines grading systems as applying standardized measurements to assess different levels of achievement in a course. There are three main types of grading systems: absolute grading, direct grading, and relative grading. Absolute grading assigns grades based on pre-determined cutoff scores, such as 90-100 for an A, 80-89 for a B, and so on. Grades are given based on a student's individual performance compared to set standards, rather than their performance relative to other students. The document also mentions that grading should be an integral part of instruction to provide feedback to students and report progress to parents.
Grading For Learning Final
Ken O'Connor is an educator who has advocated for assessment and grading practices that support student learning. Based on his research and advice, the document discusses five important ideas regarding grading: 1) relating grades to intended learning outcomes, 2) limiting grades to individual achievement, 3) assessing formative work but not including all scores in grades, 4) providing multiple assessment opportunities, and 5) involving students in the assessment process. The document provides examples and discussion of each idea.
Benefits of formal performance assessment
Formal performance assessments provide several benefits. They allow schools to be more accountable and provide data to track student progress. Teachers can use assessment results to target struggling students and adjust interventions. Assessments also allow teachers, students, and schools to evaluate performance compared to goals and identify areas for improvement. There are various forms of formal assessments, such as essays, selected responses, and constructed responses, that evaluate different skills.
