Transform your school's grading practices with this updated second edition on evidence-based grading. The book provides a five-phase process for moving beyond standards-based and competency-based grading models. Administrators and teachers will gain understanding of the core principles of evidence-based assessment, refocus assessments on proficiency, embrace student self-assessment, determine grades based on bodies of work and trends, and create a systemwide transformation of grading practices. K-12 administrators can use this book to: (1) Propose, design, and evaluate new grading practices based on student performance; (2) Lead and organize the implementation of evidence-based grading policies and practices; (3) Establish clearer guidelines, benchmarks, and standards of student performance; (4) Navigate common pitfalls when transitioning to a new evidence-based assessment model; and (5) Enhance student performance through more consistent feedback and stronger mentorship.
