The Mismatch between Assessment and Grading.
Seeley, Marcia M.
Educational Leadership, v52 n2 p4-6 Oct 1994
Teachers are receiving mixed messages about assessment. Encouraged to use alternative assessment practices, they are expected to express a student's progress in a single letter grade. Interviews with eight urban middle school teachers participating in the QUASAR (Quantitative Understanding: Amplifying Student Achievement and Reasoning) Project show how participants are resolving various grading dilemmas.
