Create a flyer for "Grading With Integrity"

I recommend this book, one hundred percent. The timing of this text couldn’t be more perfect. As educators, we need to start and plan with the end in mind and continue to push our students in the best way possible. This book starts the conversations that allows our students to grow in the right directions.

Grading With Integrity sets the foundation for examining current grading practices by providing historical context, setting a purpose, and delving into our grading schemas. Incorporating real-life examples of challenges and purposes, the book addresses multiple facets within the complexity of grading based on the most current research. Practical strategies and tools for assessment and grading are intertwined throughout each chapter, equipping educators with the necessary resources to implement fair and effective grading practices in their classrooms. 

Grades are a huge component of our education system and students’ understanding of “self” while in school. Yet we don’t spend enough time discussing the best practices of communicating grades and scoring student work in ways that are meaningful to the necessary stakeholders, students, teachers, and families. I believe that Grading with Integrity will provide much-needed guidance to teachers and school leaders with varying levels of expertise and experience.

I have the highest degree of confidence in the authors of Grading with Integrity as researchers and practitioners. Grading With Integrity provides the important research over the past century on a variety of grading practices but most importantly, the key research on best practices for creating a system for grading for equity! Not only do the authors do the arduous work of synthesizing and presenting key research, they also provide many practical examples and advice for implementation. What a combination!
