Chapter 12 FIAE

Abstract-

This chapter was about how we should set up our grading scales. The author talks about how schools each grade with a different scale. He goes on to say that we need to know how we should be grading in our classrooms. The author suggests the use of the 4.0 scale rather than the 100 point scale because the 4.0 scale makes not understanding the content the same range as understanding it a little, understanding most of it and understanding all of it. He goes on to suggest that we use rubrics for most of our assignments. The basic just of this chapter was that we should be all about the learning and get away from the traditional grading. A grade should show how well the student understands the content.


Reflection-

We need to have the students in mind when we think about lesson planning, homework, and especially grading. It needs to be about the learning and grades need to show the students' understanding. It is important that our students know that our classes are about learning and nothing else. School should be about learning, grades should be about learning. We should do everything we can in order to uphold the true meaning of education.
