Thousands of teachers and leaders have been trained by the author in establishing grading policies that are more reflective of true student achievement to standards. In this third edition of his bestselling book, the author shows how to link grades and standards and support student understanding and achievement of success. He updates his eight principles of good grading, shown with examples, which assist teachers in designing and adopting grading practices that help students feel more in control of their academic success, and provide parents a true picture.
