the launching of home access? • What will be needed for teachers to put on

What happens when the ref makes a bad call?
• In arguably the most controversial call in World Series history, Don Denkinger calls the Royals' Jorge Orta safe at first base in the ninth inning of Game 6 of the 1985 Series against the Cardinals. TV replays show that St. Louis pitcher Todd Worrell had clearly beaten Orta to the bag, but Denkinger's call sets the stage for a two-run Royals rally in a critical 2-1 victory. Kansas City goes on to win the Series in seven games.

Dear Teacher, I know the rules and
I am watching the game. Sincerely, A.Parent

Feedback
“The most effective grading practices provide accurate, specific, timely feedback designed to improve student performance” -Robert Marzano
![Page 21: TAC Training](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052310/5554ee27b4c905bb2a8b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
TAC Feedback “When used in a timely, fair manner, TAC will be one of the tools to facilitate Marzano’s strategy on Feedback”

3 Toxic Practices
1. Averaging all scores the same – Is learning at the beginning of the quarter as great as later?
2. The “semester killer”- One project that is worth a do-or-die grade achiever.
3. Zeroes for missing work- Reeves Article. D- is a wretched grade.. So a 0 is 6 times worse than wretched ?
![Page 24: TAC Training](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052310/5554ee27b4c905bb2a8b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
So, what does all this mean for our teachers and parents?
• They will need grading to be fair • They will need grading to be timely • They will need grading to make sense • They will need grading to consistent • They will need grading to be effective in
increasing achievement
![Page 25: TAC Training](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052310/5554ee27b4c905bb2a8b4c3d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
How to help
1. Ask teachers to write out how they grade. They WILL
need to be able to explain it in words 2. Ask teachers to send home classroom expectations
for grading w/opening letter. 3. Make grading policy in friendly language 4. Keep consistent, timely and fair 5. Learn to say “Oops, sorry. I am still learning the
system. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.” 6. Don’t let a missed assignment be a deal breaker.

Consistencies they will have to deal with in TAC
• All point based • Categories must be defined • Blanks (MAs) can be excluded • Percent averages may be rounded/truncated • Letter grade will automatically correlate on
district scale • Weighting assignment and/or category values • Due dates • Publishing comments or not • Students WILL have their own separate access
