Can Grades Be Helpful and Fair?
Bursuck, William D.; Munk, Dennis D.
Educational Leadership, v55 n4 p44-47 Dec-Jan 1997-1998
Letter grades are still the most popular way of indicating student performance. Both included (special-needs) and general-education students perceive the use of adaptations for some but not all students as unfair. Although half of all general-education teachers use informal grading adaptations, few consider them fair. Schools should develop a policy, include a menu of grading adaptations, explain the policy to teachers, and preserve confidentiality. (MLH)
