Grading is historically random. There is too much emphasis placed on grades. I don't like the current way of grading but am not sure how to proceed - yet. 2. Meeting other people who think like I do. Transforming my grading systems. 3. Comment - I'm excited!]]> 2022-03-04 01:16:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076972514 I’m excited to hear about the ways people have used this information to change their grading practices. https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076972814 2022-03-04 01:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076972814 We are struggling with grading our students. I'm looking forward to reading and looking at grading options for the future. cmarcheque https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076973057 2022-03-04 01:16:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076973057 I want to know if grading homework is good or no https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076973135 2022-03-04 01:17:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076973135 Amber McGuire https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076973282 3 Takeaways: Grading can feel personal to students--they internalize it. We owe it to the students to revise our grading policies. Other teachers share similar views on grading. 

2. I look forward to reading the book and finding out more specifics. I am excited and nervous to change my grading structure. 

1. One concern I have is how the district will support teachers who try something new with the grading system. ]]> 2022-03-04 01:17:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076973282 321 https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076975431 We all have common experiences related to grading. Grading is emotional for both student and teacher. Grading is directly linked to self-image and directly impacts students' identity. ]]> 2022-03-04 01:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076975431 I'm excited to hear the successes (and failures) that my peers have experienced. https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076975441 2022-03-04 01:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076975441 https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076975569 Never thought of connection between grades and scholarships, I get the equity in the title more now]]> 2022-03-04 01:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076975569 I want to know when the district will shift to the 1 ---4 scale so all teachers can follow it https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076975583 2022-03-04 01:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076975583 3-2-1 https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076975589 3 Takeaways: (1) Grading can be subjective, and that leads to problems with accuracy; (2) All of us have a story about grading that resonates with us emotionally; (3) 

2 things I'm looking forward to: (1) Understanding different ways to grade and (2) whether or not those ways are better than the one I'm currently using

1 question/comment: It seems like some of the "equity" in grading will depend on teachers agreeing to grade in a way that they may not be used to. This is a pretty systemic change. How would that work?]]> 2022-03-04 01:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076975589 lkellogg6 https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076975733 Balancing equitable grading with accountability is within the current school system is difficult if not impossible

I am highly skeptical of most of the practices being discussed but am willing to see if my mind can be changed]]> 2022-03-04 01:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076975733 https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076976839 I want to know where the meat/best pages of the book is]]> 2022-03-04 01:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076976839 dstafford10 https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076977079 1.  Encouraging a growth mindset in our students means we need to be open to change too.  
2.  The traditional grading system does not always encourage equity because it does not include variables.
3. We are all works in progress.

Finding effective grading practices that are equitable. ]]> 2022-03-04 01:19:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076977344 This is a great concept to address, discuss, and create necessary change in the educational settings all the way from TK to university. Traditional grading practices lead to inaccuracies that are unproductive and unnecessary in the big picture. https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076977833 2022-03-04 01:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076977833 I realize that my grading is more for the parents than for the student's benefit. https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076977959 2022-03-04 01:19:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076977959 3-2-1 skleinberg3 https://padlet.com/jalarcon4/xr9xvvrb8iv1di8d/wish/2076978740

Thought One - I am excited t see so many people excited to explore this work Thought Two- I hope that this is the beginning of a move towards standards based grading at all grade levels Thought Three - It is nice to have our district actually supporting an d paying for this conversation

Thing One - I am excited to explore the applications with our English Learners- they are simultaneously learning a language and trying to master content standards and the amount of English they know should not detract from the amount of content they learn  Thing Two - I am excited to see where this conversation goes toward encouraging changes in grading practices on a larger scale 

Question One - What kind of administrative support will sites be able to offer teachers who are willing to take on this challenge?

I also look forward to learning from my colleagues who are already using the 4-1 scale.
