Changing our Mind Set
Shift the focus from grades to
learning
• What do you know now?
• What can you do now?
• How have you improved?
• What do you still need to learn?

Changing the way we grade
We can be very specific:
• look at the standards (targets)
• that will show what you know and what you need to learn or
what you need to practice
• It might look and feel different

How does this improve learning?
• Instead of a % grade, now you know where you are on
the proficiency scale
• Now I know what to teach you NEXT
