accepting more late work or redo assignments, more prep time on assignments upfront but so there is less back end grading, grading fewer things, "quiz/test" less fact based and more application based

Q2: more checks for understanding as an assessment tool, using flipgrid to hear an explanation more as a quiz or assessment,  giving a lot of models and personalized work and say no 2 answers should be similar, assessments might also be a check in more for completion right now and grading is more cumulative project grade and more thorough, make an effort to find non-negotiable responses to questions

We are more flexible in our grading. We are accommodating on late work deadlines. We are looking holistically at student participation and contribution more than ever. We assess individual work with the lens of  meeting standards based rubrics

The district is looking into making major changes to the way we assess (August 2021).  Suggestions- Standards based grading, accepting late work, taking away points and instead providing feedback. There is a lot to be gained from these conversations, but some of it is not practical considering the volume of students we have. It’s moving towards standards based grading (reassessing multiple times, more chances to demonstrate skill). We see kids who are point obsessed and kids who do just enough to earn barely enough points to pass.  Getting rid of points will take a lot of adjustment for our community. Middle schoolers are using standards based grading.

Began the year being strict with assessments, and gradually became more casual. Agreed with author of article, "I’ve decided all of my students are going to pass. Because living through a 🤬 pandemic is passing."
Empathy and understanding that we are all going through a challenging time.

Assessment/grading has been easier simply because it's easier to provide personalized feedback.  The time constraints are more relaxed.  Engagement has generally been higher (less compliance more engagement) than in person.
