Book excerpt: The quality of feedback students receive from their teachers is one of the most important factors in improving learning. Elements of Grading: A Guide to Effective Practice, Second Edition addresses issues and controversies regarding the primary source of feedback for students grades. Author Douglas Reeves argues that effective grading practices must be FAST: Fair, Accurate, Specific, Timely. In addressing these four essential criteria, Elements of Grading does not offer an ultimate answer or perfect system but shows how to begin a constructive, evidence-based conversation about improving grading practices. The second edition of Elements of Grading features a significant amount of new content, including how the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and new technologies impact grading practices and systems. It promotes a new conversation about grading practices, as evidence is clearly not enough to change opinions and promote change. -- Provided by publisher.
