Relate grading procedures to learning goals.
Use criterion-referenced performance standards as reference points to determine grades.
Limit the valued attributes included in grades to individual achievement.
Sample student performance-- do not include all scores in grades.
Grade in pencil-- keep records so they can be updated easily.
Crunch numbers carefully-- if at all.
Use quality assessment(s) and properly recorded evidence of achievement.
Discuss and involve students in assessment, including grading, throughout the teaching/ learning process.
