Wormeli
Based upon the student. I.E: Chronic when turning in
late work or occasional.
The role of final grades is NOT to teach responsibility to students.
1. What actually teaches students self-accountability.
2. Make sure we are measuring the correct information.
O' Connor
Don't mark (count) everything for a grade.
use pencil because grades can change.
Overview with students how they will be graded in the
beginning so they know as they go through the assignment.

Marzano
Teachers are not accountable with covering standards alone.
Need more feedback on tests so that students
know how they are doing in the moment, not months from the
test date.
Teachers can misinterpret standards leading to ineffective teaching.
