FIAE Chapter 7

Chapter seven talks about how teachers do not consult with others about their grading process. I find that my teachers all had different opinions about what was good work and what was bad work so I was able to slack off in some classes, but not others. A better grading system should be put into place. How will this happen? When teachers start communicating with each other on what constitutes as an “A” in a class about geometry, English, or computer science. Students need to be able to understand a grading process and be able to see a brake down of what they are being graded on. Grades will not be what matters in the long run, they are just indicators on test taking skills. What matters is that through a teachers formative and even summative assessments students master the knowledge by applying what they have learned to the real world.
