How do I Grade This?
|
|
This workshop will present grading strategies that reflect the NGSS shifts, addressing how teachers can organize their grading systems to encourage ALL students to persevere and grow. Participants will receive sample rubrics and time to discuss their own grading systems. The shifts in pedagogy necessitates a shift in assessment strategies and approach. Teachers cannot truly support students in adopting a growth mindset or student driven classroom without making a shift in the way we assess and grade.
