Grading is one of the most hotly debated topics in education, and
grading practices themselves are largely based on tradition,
instinct, or personal history or philosophy. But to be effective,
grading policies and practices must be based on trustworthy
research evidence. Enter this book: a review of 100-plus years of
grading research that presents the broadest and most comprehensive
summary of research on grading and reporting available to date,
with clear takeaways for learning and teaching. Edited by Thomas R.
Guskey and Susan M. Brookhart, this indispensable guide features
thoughtful, thorough dives into the research from a distinguished
team of scholars, geared to a broad range of stakeholders,
including teachers, school leaders, policymakers, and researchers.
Each chapter addresses a different area of grading research and
describes how the major findings in that area might be leveraged to
improve grading policy and practice. Ultimately, Guskey and
Brookhart identify four themes emerging from the research that can
guide these efforts: Start with clear learning goals. Focus on the
feedback function of grades. Limit the number of grade categories.
Provide multiple grades that reflect product, process, and progress
criteria. By distilling the vast body of research evidence into
meaningful, actionable findings and strategies, this book is the
jump-start all stakeholders need to build a better understanding of
what works-and where to go from here.
