2 - Quieting the Grading Noise

In this episode of Assess THAT, Tom and Nat discuss how educators can quiet the grading noise. Whether it be the traditional graders on one side or the undgraders on the other, many educators can find themselves feeling uncertain about how to respond.   While the extreme positions often take center stage, especially online, it is the balanced positions that are more thoughtful, grounded, and helpful for those trying to navigate grading reform.     UPCOMING PROFESSIONAL LEARNING Sep. 23-24: GFIO 2-Day (Tom) Madison, WI Sep. 25-26: SBLA 2-Day (Tom) Madison, WI Sep. 30-Oct. 1: GFIO 2-Day (Natalie) Sacramento, CA Oct. 17-19: NESA Fall Leadership Conference (Tom) Dubai, U.A.E.
