Communicating about student achievement requires CALM grades - grades that are consistent, accurate, learning-focused and meaningful. To meet these four conditions, educators need to ask several essential questions: 1. To what extent am I confident that students in my school/district receive grades that are consistent, accurate, learning-focused, and meaningful? 2. To what extent am I confident that the grades I determine for my students accurately reflect my school/district's published learning goals and performance standards? 3. To what extent am I confident that what I do in grading is aligned with and contributes to my school/district's mission, vision and goals? If the answers are any less than extremely confident, educators need this revised third edition of A Repair Kit for Grading; 15 Fixes for Broken Grades because it has been extensively revised to provide the fixes to enable educators to move to that high level of confidence. There are many changes in this edition that reflect the new understandings that have occurred in the eleven-plus years since the second edition was written and hopefully make the ideas clearer and more helpful. The major changes in the third edition are as follows: o The fixes have been reworded so that they start with action verbs indicating what should be done (i.e., do first, don't second); o The fixes have all been rewritten to some extent with major revisions to fixes 1, 4, 7 and 8. o All new Educator Vignettes and policy/procedure examples for each fix; o The references have been updated so that they are mostly from 2016 or later.

Communicating about student achievement requires accurate, consistent and meaningful grades. Educators interested in examining and improving grading practices should ask the following questions: " Am I confident that students in my classroom receive consistent, accurate and meaningful grades that support learning? " Am I confident that the grades I assign students accurately reflect my school or district s published performance standards and desired learning outcomes? In many schools, the answers to these questions often range from "not very" to "not at all." When that s the case, grades are "broken" and teachers and schools need a "repair kit" to fix them. A Repair Kit for Grading: 15 Fixes for Broken Gradesgives teachers and administrators 15 waysto make the necessary repairs.

"Joe Feldman shows us how we can use grading to help students become the leaders of their own learning and lift the veil on how to succeed. . . . This must-have book will help teachers learn to implement improved, equity-focused grading for impact." —Zaretta Hammond, Author of Culturally Responsive Teaching & The Brain Crack open the grading conversation Here at last—and none too soon—is a resource that delivers the research base, tools, and courage to tackle one of the most challenging and emotionally charged conversations in today’s schools: our inconsistent grading practices and the ways they can inadvertently perpetuate the achievement and opportunity gaps among our students. With Grading for Equity, Joe Feldman cuts to the core of the conversation, revealing how grading practices that are accurate, bias-resistant, and motivational will improve learning, minimize grade inflation, reduce failure rates, and become a lever for creating stronger teacher-student relationships and more caring classrooms. Essential reading for schoolwide and individual book study or for student advocates, Grading for Equity provides A critical historical backdrop, describing how our inherited system of grading was originally set up as a sorting mechanism to provide or deny opportunity, control students, and endorse a "fixed mindset" about students’ academic potential—practices that are still in place a century later A summary of the research on motivation and equitable teaching and learning, establishing a rock-solid foundation and a "true north" orientation toward equitable grading practices Specific grading practices that are more equitable, along with teacher examples, strategies to solve common hiccups and concerns, and evidence of effectiveness Reflection tools for facilitating individual or group engagement and understanding As Joe writes, "Grading practices are a mirror not just for students, but for us as their teachers." Each one of us should start by asking, "What do my grading practices say about who I am and what I believe?" Then, let’s make the choice to do things differently . . . with Grading for Equity as a dog-eared reference.
