"Why Did I Get an A-?" Helping Students Focus on the Quality of Their Work
Facilitator(s): Jessie Towbin, Tim Fraychineaud

Workshop   +   Classroom Practice: assessment   +   Everyone
Shifting from an approach that focuses on points and grades to one that focuses on the quality of students' work is a challenge for many teachers. The challenge is especially great when grades continue to be the school's primary means of recording and communicating student achievement. In this workshop, participants will learn how to assess the damage inflicted by a traditional grade-based reporting system and develop tools to move students and parents toward a more authentic understanding of where students are, even as traditional grading practices persist in the school.
Date/Time: Friday, 8:00am - 10:00am   Room: CC 612   Session #102
