Assessment Philosophy
My grading philosophy is to make sure that all grading reflects student performance in understanding learning goals and only measures student achievement. I want grading to be seen as a positive tool for feedback and communication to further student learning. Every piece of student work is not graded because I want to promote a safe environment where students know that it is okay to practice and that it is necessary to make mistakes. Intrinsic motivation will increase as students realize that practice and mistakes are a part of learning and that they are given choice and responsibility in their own learning. Penalties for late work and giving zeros only hinder students. Extra credit will be used as an opportunity for students to demonstrate their further learning. Summative assessments will always be enforced but grading should be used like a formative assessment allowing students to always improve and to focus on the value of the journey instead of the end point.
