Presentation at Rudy Lozano Leadership Academy

INTRODUCTION
What's the purpose of grading? What do progress reports tell us? Elements of grades - Product, Process, and Progress. What motivates people? How do I implement standards based grading?

CHOOSE YOUR SKILLS!
State standards, YCCS standards, National standards, Oh my! Power standards: Endurance, Leverage, Readiness, Transformation. Break down a standard - post-it notes!

CREATE YOUR ASSESSMENTS!
Percents don't mean anything! The 4-point scale for grading skills! Simple, advanced, and beyond! Report cards that separate product, process, and progress!

MAKE IT TRANSPARENT!
Rubrics are confusing! Matthew Broderick in Election! Dwight from The Office! Co-constructed rubrics! Checklists are your friends! Grades vs. grades+comments vs. just comments!
