[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: not grading homework. One push to standards based grading and equitable practice isn’t so much the outside help but the grading of formative (learning, practice) work vs summative (assessing competency) work. Educators are working to say do we assess students while they are learning a new skill? We want them to not be afraid to take risks and make mistakes- that’s part of learning. But if we “grade” them will they are practicing a new concept is that really fair? That’s part of what the push is to not grade homework or class work- or grade with a very low weight compared to tests and quizzes. [/quote] The key piece to the puzzle is motivating students to actually do the homework and practice work, in order to truly understand the material. A lot of parents a grappling with that issue in FCPS where standards based grading has been more fully implemented in some schools. [/quote]
