Kindergarten #7 How to Take the Dread Out of Grading, Scoring, and Reporting

-Teachers are expected to change the way we teach but grading systems stay the same.
-Think about what we can do with learners rather than to or for learners so that all are engaged
-Make sure grading and reporting are not disconnected
-REFLECT ON PRACTICE, PROCESSES, and TOOLS (what and how are students showing their learning)

A learning path is simply a way to empower learners and learning—especially for large, challenging goals such as content standards. Learning paths outline criteria for success in a way that illustrates the learning journey: how students will develop their knowledge, content, and skills to approach, meet, and extend past their large, challenging goals.

Power of the path: Benefits you can expect

When you’ve created clear, visible learning paths, you’ll notice it will become easier to collaborate with learners (and their caregivers) on a number of critical actions:

Optimize unit and lesson plans by “baking in” what is inspiring, motivating, and interesting to learners.

Find authentic understanding and purpose for the learning goals.

Make connections between the large learning goal and smaller goals, such as lesson objectives, whole-class goals, interim assessment goals, and student-made goals.

Anticipate learning variability, options, and supports ahead of time, reducing the time and energy spent on remediation and intervention.

Monitor, celebrate, and take next steps in the learning journey.

Mend issues of accessibility, inclusivity, and bias in assessment processes before use with students.

Engage learners (and their adult supports) with crafting alternate paths, when appropriate.

4th Grade: 5 ways to check classroom assessment processes for quality

# data[].attributes.body
Students often feel ticked by assessments. Teachers are not trained to have students show what they know.  Teachers need to optimize and evaluate their own assessment process. Teachers need training on how to align informative and formative assessments.
From “gotcha” to “show me what you know and can do”

How to check assessment processes for quality

1. Ensure the best fit and balance between goals and purpose
2. Match goals with materials
3. Match goals with methods
4. Consider inclusivity, accessibility, and fairness
5. Ask students to inform options: Prompting students to make their own assessment prompts or tasks
