=A Call to Action: Transforming Grading Practices by Jeffrey Erickson =

Mark Marstaller's Summary & Ratings: The article discussing Grading Policy changes at Minnetonka Public School. Late work no longer is unaccepted, or accepted with a 50% penalty (since this is a disincentive), but does receive a 10% grade reduction. The results for plagiarism is not a zero, but loss of parking privileges. Homework (and formative assessments) can count no more than 15% of the grade. Retakes are allowed, but there must be some additional instruction and practice before the second assessment. They saw that these changes gave students more incentive for their learning (and relearning) and helped teachers to develop better forms of assessment. A. 4 B. 6 C. 6
