What's the best way to ensure that grading policies are fair, accurate, and consistent across classrooms? How can schools transition to a grading system that better reflects what students are actually learning? Author Tim R. Westerberg makes this journey easier by offering a continuum of options, with four "destinations" on the road to improved grading and assessment: (1) Destination 1 critically examines popular grading mechanisms and explains how they undermine objectivity and instead result in widely divergent grades for comparable work; (2) Destination 2 invites educators to put assessment and grading into the larger context of a districtwide guaranteed and viable curriculum; (3) Destination 3 brings parents and others on board with a multiyear implementation plan and community engagement strategies; and (4) Destination 4 involves a total rethinking of the nature and structure of school, leading to individualized education for all students.
