  Case: Grading Requirements
Mrs. Smith and Mr. Brown both teach third grade. Mrs. Smith has 14 grades in Reading at the midpoint of the semester. Mr. Brown only has 5. As parents get their students grades they realize many students in Mrs. Smith's class are doing well and Mr. Brown has only 3 that are passing his class. Should the teachers have the same amount of grades?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
My school system has a set amount of summative assessment grades for each grade level. However, each teacher is responsible for assessing their students along the way using various formative assessments. Mrs. Smiths students having better grades does not mean that she is adequately assessing her students in meaningful and useful ways. Nevertheless, Mr. Brown should assess his students' understanding throughout instruction to provide a better picture of what students know and do not know.
