•Develop empathy and understanding when discussing grades and progress with students
and parents

•Demonstrate the ability to effectively assign grades using various grading system and
methods

1.2 Introduction

Grading is one of the many activities that a classroom teacher performs in order to
professionally assess the achievements of his or her students. This involves gathering and
evaluating evidence of the learners' performance or achievement over a set
period. Varioustypes of descriptive information and methods of measuring student perfor
mance thatsummarize their accomplishments are converted to grade or marks through this
process. Grading and reporting students' progress are two of the most difficult tasks for
teachers because there are so many variables and decisions to make.

LESSON 1: Nature, purpose and rationale for assigning grades

NATURE FOR ASSIGNING GRADES


Grades are the teacher’s judgement on the performance of students based on acertain
criteria. Aside from grading the students’ performance, teachers have to inform the students
and parents about the academic progress in various learning areas in the curriculum.
Elementary, Secondary, and Colleges uses a pass-fail (satisfactory-unsatisfactory)
system. Pass-fail system in high school and college allows students to explore new areas and
take risks on subjects that they may have limited preparation for, or is not part of their major
(Linn & Miller, 2005).

PURPOSE FOR ASSIGNING GRADES


Grades are essentially a way to measure or quantify learning and intellectual progress
using objective criteria. They can serve many purposes:
1.As an evaluation of student work, effort, understanding of course content, skill
development, and progress;
2.As a source of self-motivation to students for continued learning and improvement;
3.As a means of communicating feedback to students on their performance;
4.As a means of communicating to students, parents, graduate schools, professional
schools, and future employers about a student’s potential in college and predictor for
further success;
5.As a means of organizing a lesson, a unit, or a semester in that grades mark transitions
in a course and bring closure to it (i.e. a summative assessment).

RATIONALE FOR ASSIGNING GRADES


The rationale for a grading adaptation involving effort is usually to motivate thestuden
t to try harder by acknowledging increased effort in the grading systems. Rather than simply
encouraging the student to “try harder” because the extra effort will lead to improved
performance and higher grades.

GRADING SYSTEM

Percentage Grade (Averaging, Cumulative)

Averaging
Grade averaging is the practice of calculating semester, end-of-term, or end-of-
year course grades by taking the sum of all numerical grades awarded in a
course and then dividing that sum by the total number of grades awarded.

Cumulative
The grade of a student in a grading period equals his currents grading period
which is assumed to have the cumulative effects of the previous grading system.
Grade 1/3 of midterm grade + 2/3 of Tentative final grade
1/3 of 90 + 2/3 of 80 = 30 + 53.33

Checklist

There are many different ways that you can grade students using checklists.
You can keep track of their reading progress for a grade. You can create a
standard checklist to check off when they show you,they understand skills.You
can even break it down into smaller skill - based items that you want students to
master within a standard.

Report Card

Are formal documents that summarize a student's grades, performance, and


behavior in each subject or course. They often include grades for assignments,
tests, participation, and behavior, providing a comprehensive overview of the
student's academic standing.
