A thought on grading practices

A thought on grading practices

Nov 13 2020

Here's a thought I have as I consider one of the updated approaches that our division will soon be taking regarding grading practices. I think our students should have an assessment bill of rights as part of the creation of our soon-to-be-developed division-wide grading guidelines. Further, I think that the bill of rights should be developed by students with support, resources and facilitation from educators. Finally, I think that the bill of rights should be presented to the School Board by our student representative to the School Board for approval. Our students have such a diverse set of skills and talents and they know what they need and want to see from their educators. This will give them some agency in the decisions that we make on their behalf, and it will also give them insight into the way that decisions are made in their schools.
