One thing that I thought that stood out to me was allowing students to retake a test and let that replace the score of their first test vs. taking the average of the two. Would this set our students up for success or does this give our students the idea that they will always have a second chance? Will students go into the test without trying knowing they will have a second shot?

One thing that stood out to me that I hadn't thought about before was how subjective "participation" points can be.

# data[].attributes.body
I think participation is important within a classroom and for the individual's development. I was a little surprised to read that participation should not be a category of a grade.

# data[].attributes.body
It was interesting to see that a "participation grade" would warp the grades and it isn't considered equitable.

Ah ha moment= the participation. I do see that it doesn't reflect a measurable skill, but part of me really wants to believe it could have a place in part of the grade.
I like the 0-4 scale.

One thing that stuck out to me was when the website stated that "Learning isn’t a race, and we don’t want to stop students from learning simply because we’ve given the summative assessment. Instead students can learn through assessments. " I really connected with that and think of how I can incorporate more of my students who are struggling.

I definitely had a few "ah ha" moments, and learned that my grading isn't as equitable as I thought it was. I rely a lot on incentivizing participation and effort. I look forward to getting more practice with grading to see what works best for me and my students.

Not bumping grades for effort. I totally get why, but if one of my students
with special learning needs gives me something that is an "A for them" in my book, I want to give them an A.

I was really surprised about the participation question. I said all of the above and it was none of them. I would have thought that participation would be more important than what it is lead on to be.

The grading scale is what stood out to me!

One thing that stood out to me was replacing a higher grade with a lower grade instead of averaging them out. I have had many teachers in the past average them!

I feel like my grading is definitely not equitable. Maybe it's just distance learning, but homework grades are the main focus (only for completion).

One thing that stood out to me was the last question. " Why do you include a “Participation” category in the grade?"

i chose B, which was "b) I want to create opportunities for students who struggle academically to earn points for valuable “soft skills”"
I guess I was wrong. The correct answer was none of these.

I suppose that using a multi faceted grading system, based not just on performance, but also improvement, is a good idea for assessment

The participation question really surprised me. Sometimes that seems like the only way to incentivize students (especially with DL)

I was a little surprised that you shouldn't give grade bumps for effort. I have discussed this with other teachers, and some tend to do this with failing students or students with IEPs.

The thing that stood out to me was that there should be no "expected" grade trends. I am curious about how other teachers grade equitably.

# data[].attributes.body
Apparently I do not have equity grading in a lot of ways. I do not agree with a couple of them like with replacing a grade with a new one if they redo an assignment, but I do practice a few of them already. I also understand that participation points and getting students to interact can be seen not as equity, but I have such a hard time gauging if students are understanding as I teach. I rather not leave that to exit ticket at the end of the day.

I think it was really interesting to read about how they believe we should use a 0-4 grading scale, most teachers I have spoken to are not fans of that grading scale.

One thing that stood out to me was that its recommended that we use 0-4 grading scale.
An A-ha I had was the participation question.
