| Most schools today are reforming their grading policies and practices. Unfortunately, many find they are met with unanticipated problems and staunch resistance that result in failure of their efforts. This session describes why these schools failed and what can be done to guarantee greater likelihood for success. Procedures for implementing new reporting structures are highlighted, including standards-based and competency-based grading, together with policies and practices that should be avoided due to their negative consequences for students, teachers, parents, and schools. | |||||||||

| Part 2. Successful Grading and Reporting Reforms This session will focus on essential steps in successful grading and reporting reforms, discuss how to gain support from different stakeholder groups, describe procedures for addressing concerns of students and their families, and present examples of successful reform efforts. |
