All are invited to participate in a booktalk about the book On Your Mark by Thomas R. Guskey. Copies are available on request to Central Office. This book is a great way to prompt a discussion about what is and isn’t working with our current grading practices. This will pave the way for discussions about grading in a mastery-based learning environment. Here is an overview of the book from the publisher:
“Create and sustain a learning environment where students thrive and stakeholders are accurately informed of student progress. Clarify the purpose of grades, craft a vision statement aligned with this purpose, and discover research-based strategies to implement effective grading and reporting practices. Identify policies and practices that render grading inaccurate, and understand the role grades play in students’ future success and opportunities.”

We hope you can join us!
