Grades are not necessary for learning, but feedback is.

Formative Feedback•During class, short trials to check to understanding: Practice
independently comes later, as homework.•Intermittent feedback on long projects (Mid-Process
assessment)•More one-on-one feedback, while other students are working•More paired work, help your neighbors, “study-buddies”•Grades are temporary; students correct mistakes after feedback – not always, but good on long-term projects

Things to Think About •How much HW is a typical Avon student assigned each night?•Ten minute rule•40-hour work week•Assign HW that doesn’t require the book•Use HW as Bellwork: Do one more thing with the HW before turning it in.•Students who didn’t do HW should remain in classroom – you had better strategies than giving a zero!•You’re working too hard; the kids are supposed to go home exhausted, not you
