Just write the book. If you are so sure that all the "grading reformers" are wrong, then just write the book and share all the research that supports traditional grading. Please, I beg you, stop keeping this mountain of research a secret. Share it with the world! I'll wait...

If accurately reporting student achievement doesn’t matter to you, then you can do whatever you want in your gradebook. Have at it. But if accurately reporting student achievement matters to you (and of course I know it does) then we need to utilize sound assessment practices.

One of my favourite quotes from Adam Grant! Change is often emotional. I find this especially true when rethinking assessment & grading practices. It's not about shame or blame but about understanding the range of reactions as you cultivate a new paradigm within your context.

📊 A zero should never be a proxy for missing work/data. It's not only harmful to kids, but it's also poor math/measurement. Missing isn't evidence of no learning. It's just no evidence. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Teachers #UDL #SBLchat #TG2Chat #TeacherTwitter

This never gets old and I am truly grateful for every opportunity I have to work with teachers and administrators! Writing a book is hard, but the reward is when that hard work makes an impact on educators, which ultimately impacts students!

An underrated formative strategy is to create opportunities for students to talk to each other about their learning. As you hear the understandings & misunderstandings, you'll be poised for an acute instructional maneuver. Do we move forward or go back? You'll know in real-time

Here's a good reflection question for your FEEDBACK practices. Is my feedback a set of directions, or does my feedback cause thinking? This is particularly important when It comes to writing standards, where the feedback loop is an inherent & essential part of the process.
