Grading for Learning

The 6-12 teachers and I have been exploring how to best communicate students' achievement through how we grade.  There are several key changes happening, and I want all families to know the changes and the philosophy behind them.  Please see the article below titled Grading for Learning about specific changes at GCC. See also the following videos for more insight: School of Walk standards-based instruction explanation and Rick Wormeli explaining formative and summative assessment and the impact of feedback.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.  -Lauren Ressler   701-797-3114    lauren.ressler@k12.nd.us
