October Tip: Change the Narrative Around “Failing” By October, some students already believe: “I’m bad at this.” “This grade defines me.” Let’s shift that. Reassessment isn’t just a policy—it’s a message: ➡️ You can still learn this. ➡️ You’re not stuck. ➡️ We grade what you know now. “Learning doesn’t have an expiration date.” #STAGR #ReassessmentCulture #GradingForLearning

Is standards-based grading the best solution? 🤔 Anthony Reibel answers this question in our newest blog post. Give it a read! 📝👀 bit.ly/4bhYXEX #StandardsBasedGrading #GradingForLearning #Assessment #StudentCenteredLearning

Again grades should reflect learning by the student. Not a rank or a sort. #100ptscaleisnoteffective #gradingforlearning

Yes. It’s 👏 about 👏 the 👏 kids! 👏 #gradingforlearning #studentcentered

Student: “ohhh, so it’s about HOW we got our answer, not THAT we got an answer.” Me: “yes, could you repeat that again a little louder.” #StandardsBasedGrading #GradingForLearning #MTBoS #iteachmath

A3 We also need to plan together, braiding the work. #PBL PD should not be separated from #gradingforlearning separated from #equity separated from #techintegration from #inquiry, etc. etc. It ALL goes together! #ELMagChat

Staggering numbers of students falling: are students not learning? Or is our grading system broken? It’s not too late in the year to make changes. @CarlaMeyrink @awfrench1 #sblchat #gradingforlearning #grading #principals #teachers

Traditional grading practices are causing added stress this Fall for teachers and students. There are manageable shifts you can make even now which endure equity for S’s in any learning environment! #sblchat #edleadership #gradingforlearning #teachers #edchat @CarlaMeyrink

"Learning became less about the grade and more about the learning goals...A value was placed on learning from mistakes." - @MsVanhala in her recent @ELmagazine article "How I Revamped My Grading System" #gradingforlearning 🙌 ascd.org/publications/educat…

Great conversations with Grading for Learning progression. #gradingforlearning @LincolnK8School

A picture is worth a thousand words, so a meme must be worth more... Right? Today, @CTECH_RPS's POSA (@BKM31) explores this theory by breaking down #gradingforlearning--esp. @RPS535's 4 guidings Qs--by using nothing but memes. #RPSLead rpscurriculumandinstruction.…

@mrswiebej this should be our new sign! #gradingforlearning

Just looked up #gradingforlearning and look what I found! Hi Kim!

@rickwormeli2 Hey, Rick! I’m taking you with me to Door County, WI this weekend! #gradingforlearning

With standards based grading, “they can’t hide their weaknesses behind their strengths.” Love this observation by a teacher. When we know where kids need help, we can help them get where they need to be. #SBG #gradingforlearning

What is the point of grades? COMMUNICATION and that's it! As @rickwormeli2 says: "Anything that muddies the waters" with this should be stopped! Check out ep13 today! ow.ly/LtWk30iCqKE @petercrable @CHSiddons @RWDodd #edchat #SGB #education #gradingforlearning
