Grading practices

"An F does not teach anything; the recovery from an F is what teaches."  -- Rick Wormeli

Students should be able to answer:
What are you supposed to be learning?
Where are you in relation to that goal?

Grades are NOT compensation. Grades are communication: They are an accurate report of what happened.

​"No one cares what you teach. It's what kids carry forward that really matters."
According to Rick Wormelli, it is morally unethical to give a grade based on anything other than knowledge
Do not report a grade on "hidden curriculum"
