(Rescheduled from February 16, 2017)

Interested in reducing meaningless paperwork? Increasing achievement? Are you questioning traditional grading practices such as zeroes, averaging grades, re-dos, homework, late work, grading effort and neatness of assignments?

Assessment in most classrooms is a hodgepodge of old practices that don't reveal the truth about actual student understanding of critical content. The grades students are provided reveal little to no evidence of what a student knows, can do, or understands. But, it does not have to be that way. Join Mike Shackleford for a look at a powerful approach to assessment and grading that provides purposeful and meaningful information to drive instruction and assist students in growing through their own learning experience. We'll…

• Reflect upon current practices
• Discuss formative assessments
• Outline steps for Standards-Based Learning, Assessing and Grading implementation
