summarized here for you. We want to continue this “conversation”
about grading and assessment. Look for opportunities to network and share ideas with other Master
Teachers!

• Providing students opportunities for revisions/retakes/redos
• Allowing students to redo work for full credit
• Not giving a zero unless it is “recoverable”• Not giving extra credit work• Tying assessments to standards• Re-teaching and retesting specific
standards

What strategies did you find were….easiest to apply?
• Allowing revisions/retakes/redos, i.e. requiring all work to be done
• Implementing suggested grade book format and charts for tracking grades
• Grading work habits and work ethic separately
![Page 11: 2011 Leadership Institute Survey Results Based on presentations by Rick Wormeli to Georgia’s Master Teachers on “Fair Isn’t Always Equal”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e2a5503460f94b174d0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
…easiest to apply?
• Retesting and item analysis – students should analyze why they missed particular items
• Replacing zeros with another minimum value, e.g. 50 or 60
• Using a four-point scale
![Page 12: 2011 Leadership Institute Survey Results Based on presentations by Rick Wormeli to Georgia’s Master Teachers on “Fair Isn’t Always Equal”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e2a5503460f94b174d0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What strategies were most difficult to implement…and why?
STRATEGY…
• Changing grading system across or within grade levels
• Changing grading practices
• Moving away from traditional grading scale
• Using rubrics and portfolios
• Assigning little or no weight to homework
WHY?
• Grading scales are mandated by the system
• Some things are “non-negotiable” in systems
• Need full cooperation from parents and system leaders
• Takes time to develop rubrics and compile portfolios
• Students won’t do the work if it doesn’t “count”; some teachers give up on homework
![Page 13: 2011 Leadership Institute Survey Results Based on presentations by Rick Wormeli to Georgia’s Master Teachers on “Fair Isn’t Always Equal”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e2a5503460f94b174d0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
…most difficult to implement…and why?
STRATEGY..• Allowing revisions, retakes, redos
• Holding students accountable for unacceptable or incomplete work
Why?• Allowing students to redo
assessments is harder than letting them redo class assignments – need effective ways to do retakes; follow-up is time consuming;
• Need new system/school protocols; deciding when a student has had enough chances; student apathy or not willing to do the work

…most difficult to implement…and why?
STRATEGY…
•Individualizing and
differentiating
activities and
assessments
• Helping
teachers to
create alternative
assessments
Why?
• Difficult to find time to create
assessments for so many
students
•Hard to get teachers to think
outside of traditional
assessments

…most difficult to implement…and why?
STRATEGY…
• Creating and using grade book format
for the differentiated classroom
• Standards-based grade book
Why?
• Time constraints• System expectations
• Need understanding and support from parents; need to start at the beginning of the school year or term
![Page 16: 2011 Leadership Institute Survey Results Based on presentations by Rick Wormeli to Georgia’s Master Teachers on “Fair Isn’t Always Equal”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e2a5503460f94b174d0/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
If you learned some strategies but have not been able to implement or share
them, tell us why…
• Timing – not enough time to begin this year – will start at the beginning of next school year
• Will conduct workshop next year and embed strategies into professional learning
• Need more time to study and gain understanding about differentiated strategies
![Page 17: 2011 Leadership Institute Survey Results Based on presentations by Rick Wormeli to Georgia’s Master Teachers on “Fair Isn’t Always Equal”](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e2a5503460f94b174d0/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
If you learned some strategies but have not been able to implement or share
them, tell us why…
• Standards-based grade book should be started at the beginning of the school year and implemented gradually, i.e. one period at a time
• We are beginning staff discussions on grading policies and what changes we should make
• We are awaiting permission to use standards-based assessments

If you learned some strategies but have not been able to implement or share
them, tell us why…
• I want to practice and be successful at a few strategies at a time
• System/school/department mandates prevent implementation
• Parents and teachers need to understand the link between instruction, learning, and grades

them, tell us why…
