I am definitely pushing to reform the way I grade/assess this year. I want it all to have so much more meaning. I really like the wording you use for each of your areas. Jason, Thanks for this guest series on assessment reform. It's a great help to me! Matt,

Thanks for this great information and an example of using a standards based gradebook. I am definitely pushing to reform the way I grade/assess this year. I want it all to have so much more meaning. I really like the wording you use for each of your areas.

Jason,

Thanks for this guest series on assessment reform. It’s a great help to me!

It is so easy for students to learn how the assessment system works and then work the system. I got straight A's in history. I can assure you, I shouldn't have gotten an A. I didn't understand any of it. I knew how to play the assessment game. Reform may be uncharted territory and an uneasy place for administration and parents to go, but it is necessary for our students. We owe them better feedback, better guidance. Great post!

I am glad to read one from a secondary teacher because I would like to implement this in my classroom, but I am trying to figure out how to work it out with grading programs, admin, and parents. I am interested in the lykert scale/narrative feedback form. Is there a place where I can download a copy of this? Also, I will check out Matt's blog. Hopefully, I will see more info about the gradebook aspect. Thanks! I have been reading (with great interest) these posts about standards-based grading for a while now, and I am very interested.
