Grading And Reporting:15 Fixes For Broken Grades June 17, 8:00 am - 3:15 pm Location: Macomb ISD, Clinton Township Educators interested in examining and improving grading practices should ask the following questions: Am I confident that students in my classroom receive consistent, accurate and meaningful grades that support learning? Am I confident that the grades I assign students accurately reflect my school or district’s published performance standards and desired learning outcomes? The “fixes” in the title include four categories that reflect common grading challenges: distorted achievement, low-quality or poorly organized evidence, inappropriate grade calculation and linking grades more closely to student learning. Since 1996, Ken O’Connor has served as an independent consultant on grade assessment and evaluation and has presented worldwide. CLICK HERE TO REGISTER ONLINE SB-CEUs SB-CEUs will be offered pending approval. In order to receive credit, you must be on time, stay until the end of the program, and complete an online evaluation.
