Pathways to Proficiency [EPUB ebook] 
Implementing Evidence-Based Grading

Challenge traditional grading practices and adopt a new, more effective grading model for students that will close the gaps in student achievement and content mastery. This book provides the pathway for implementing evidence-based grading practices in schools through a straightforward, five-phase creative model: (1) preparation, (2) incubation, (3) insight, (4) evaluation, and (5) elaboration. Readers will follow a hypothetical curriculum team’s journey through each phase of this process.
