  1. History of Grading

  2. Purpose of Grading • The main purpose of grading is to inform our pedagogy. A grade should tell the student, the teacher and the parents how a student performs in comparison a well-defined standardized outcome. • The grade should help direct the students further learning by identifying the student’s position on the journey to mastery.

  3. The ideal grading system must: • Accurately measure achievement on specific and well defined outcomes • Describe a learner’s place on the journey from beginner to mastery in an overarching way. • Weights more recent heavily than past work Therefore, this grade should describe what the student knows and what the student can do, compared to the aims and goals of the program.

  4. The ideal grading system will not allow unrelated behaviours to affect the grade. Thus, it does not measure attendances, attitude, late assignments, etc.
