  Case: kindergarten grades
We are now required to give number grades in kindergarten. What are some age-appropriate ways to assess and give number grades to kindergarteners?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I think that you should use a rubric and have specific numeric grades based on the performance task. For example, the standard may say that the student can count to 100. The rubric will state that if a student counts to 100 then the student meets the standard and should be awarded 100 points. If a student can count anywhere from 80-99, the student should be awarded a grade of 90-99 (depending on how close he or she came to 100). The rubric will guide the parents in understanding the grading process and why their child received the grade he or she got. We used this system when we used a standards based report card. In the place of numerical grade, we had exceeds, meets, does not meet, etc.

Comments: I think this is a great way to measure the progress of kindergarden students, its much more reasonable than giving them a number grade when it represent s how well they did the problems etc.
