This quote resonates with me because it argues that accountability has not lessened but rather changed--from accountability to complete tasks to accountability to learn/understand

While students should not be grading themselves, teachers can most certainly ease their workload by teaching them how to self-and peer-assess, especially during the formative assessment process.

"So much of what educators call standards-based grading is the cumulative effect of local decisions that eventually became the norm."

The small decisions we make in the classroom can have a big effect when looking at them cumulatively over a long period of time.

"Our goal is to accurately report student proficiency while maintaining students' confidence in their continued growth."

A student who perpetually sees themselves as failing will have a substantial lack of confidence that will perpetuate this cycle. A student who believes they cannot succeed, will refuse to attempt to succeed.

"Most teachers would see a zero as a consequence, but the zero may actually allow the student to opt out of the assignment, especially if the net result of the zero is a grade that is still acceptable; that's not accountability, that's just punishment." (p.40)

Traditional grading, it can be argued, has lower accountability because it allows students to opt out of learning.

I recently have taken a new approach to motivating my students: 1) If they complete the assignment correctly and turn it in the day it is assigned, they get one point extra credit.
2) If they complete the assignments before class is over, they may leave early and work on missing assignments for my class on other classes. (I also offer them my help with past assignments, should they need it.)
