This is why it's so important to have .☑️clear grading purpose for students & parents & .☑️why we need to remove behaviors from grading. YES, behaviors matter & should be taught but need to be separated from the measurement of academic ability.

A little late to the party but, in case you are as well, I'd highly recommend @AdamMGrant Think Again to all educators. Not only for personal perspective but for thinking about instruction as well. Loved it!

Hope is what it's all about for students AND teachers. In yesterday's grading cohort, a teacher shared: after creating clear targets & implementing learning progressions students achieved 3s & 4s. "I feel hopeful for the 1st time this year." @KHSD_Official

Excellent conversation about voice. "The power of your voice isn't how much you talk but how much people listen." Appreciated the definition of voice as well - lots of takeaways in this one. @jimknight99 @DrRussQ

I did this for a minute only I was even worse - I turned the 4-pt scale into a 💯 scale and thought I was doing something different. If you're going for accuracy, don't add elements that are hard to articulate.
⚠️Beware of the allure of pluses & minuses in the 4-pt scale: It's merely an allusion of precision. ⚠️. Key goals when moving to a 4-pt scale: 1)clearly articulate each performance level, 2)consistently differentiate between levels, & 3)ensure equal intervals among levels. 💪💪💪
