# Grading # Grading Assessments (Lead Instructor Version) ### Grading Credit - **Full Credit** - Answer is correct - **¾ Credit** - Given for a student able to self-correct once an error was pointed out or there’s a correct answer, which wasn’t simplified or in the wrong place (eg. the student had the right answer in their work but posted an incorrect answer on the answer line) - **½ Credit** - Given if you clarify directions, point out the correct operation (subtract and not add), or help point out an error (“check your subtraction again”) - **¼ Credit** - Given for showing awareness of skill being assessed such as 4 by 2 division with the right steps but incorrect subtraction. - **0 Credit** - Given if you give definitions or show the student how to solve a problem: “least common multiple is the smallest number that...”, “8% means 8 for each hundred... - If a question is marked as **"H"**, this is the equivalent of **½ Credit**. An instructor has "helped" a student with the question. - If a question is marked as **"T"**, this is the equivalent of 0 Credit**. An instructor has "taught" a student the question. ### Tips - If a question is **marked as anything but full credit**, the entire PK for that question will be assigned. As a result, feel free to be generous with grading if a student doesn't seem to be performing very well on the assessment. - **If a question asks to list fractions within a lower and upper bound,** do not give credit for equivalent fraction - **Please initial and date each page** at the bottom right corner. ### Filing Assessments (Kenilworth) #### Ungraded Bin If you have any ungraded pages, please place them in the ungraded bin. #### In-Progress Bin If the assessment pages are graded and the student has previously completed assessment pages, please attach the new pages to the the previously completed pages in the in-progress bin. ##### Completed, Needs Further Action Bin (Lead Instructors) If an assessment/progress check is completed and graded... - ...and **it has not been entered into Radius yet**, please place the assessment at a 90 degree angle in the bin (facing towards your body). - ...and **it has been entered into Radius**, please place the assessment normally into the bin. If there are any additional assessments (e.g. NF, CP, HSFS) that a student needs to complete) please make a note of it with a sticky note. **How to know when an assessment is complete:** **Blue Pages (Pre/Post Assessments):** An assessment is complete when the last page has a double bolded border at the bottom of the page.

(You will notice that all the progress check pages have a maximum of six questions. It is possible for the last page to have six questions, though it is fairly rare).

# Verbal Assessments Verbal Checkups are designed to gauge a student's mental math skills with basic arithmetic. There are two verbal assessments:
##### Numerical Fluency: Addition and Subtraction ##### Numerical Fluency: Multiplication and Division
This verbal checkup covers basic addition and subtraction facts like 3+5, 13-8, and 2+9.This verbal checkup covers basic multiplication and division facts like 2 x 5, 12 x 3, and 12 / 3
#### When to Administer a Verbal Checkup If you are an instructor with more than two students at your table, try to look for "floating instructors" or a Lead Instructor to administer the verbal checkup. The administering instructor **should not answer any other student questions** during the testing period. #### How to Administer a Verbal Checkup Note: Verbal Checkups should only be administered by trained instructors who have completed the Radius training. 1\. With every verbal checkup, there will be a set of "Student Pages" and a rubric. Place the "Student Pages" directly in front of the student [ ![Screenshot 2024-06-22 9.32.53 AM.png](https://schoolhouse4math.pikapod.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2024-06-22-9-32-53-am.png)](https://schoolhouse4math.pikapod.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/screenshot-2024-06-22-9-32-53-am.png)[![Screenshot 2024-06-22 9.32.25 AM.png](https://schoolhouse4math.pikapod.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2024-06-22-9-32-25-am.png)](https://schoolhouse4math.pikapod.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/screenshot-2024-06-22-9-32-25-am.png) 2\. Start at the beginning of the section. Point to the question you would like the student to answer and read it out loud. 3\. Grading - **Y -** The student correctly answered the question in the allotted time frame - **N** - The student incorrectly answered the question - **S** - The student answered the question correctly but took longer than five seconds to answer. - **FC -** Check this box if the student utilized finger counting. - **SC** - Check this box if the student utilized skip counting. At the end of each section, there will be a place to mark a student's total mastery with a section. [![Screenshot 2024-06-22 11.37.28 AM.png](https://schoolhouse4math.pikapod.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/scaled-1680-/screenshot-2024-06-22-11-37-28-am.png)](https://schoolhouse4math.pikapod.net/uploads/images/gallery/2024-06/screenshot-2024-06-22-11-37-28-am.png) - **No Knowledge** - The student demonstrates **zero** conceptual understanding with the questions asked. In essence, they did not get a single question in that section correct - **Awareness** - The student demonstrates awareness of the concepts present. **Less than half of the answers are correct** - **Competency** - The student demonstrates competency with the concepts present. **More than half of the answers are correct, but one/some of the answers were marked as S, FC, SC, or N.** - **Mastery** - The student demonstrates complete mastery with the concepts present. **All of the questions are correct (with no S, FC, or SC markings).** 4\. After completing the verbal checkup, please **initial and date the bottom of the first rubric sheet.** #### Tips - When the Numerical Fluency results are entered into Radius, the only scores that will be entered are the N/A/C/M scores. Therefore, if a student is demonstrating "No Knowledge" on the first half of a section, you may let the student skip the rest of the questions in the section - The student may be insistent on taking more time to answer each question. Keep the student within a reasonable time frame, for the assessment shouldn't take any longer than five minutes. - If you are struggling to categorize a N/A/C/M for a specific section, feel free to leave it blank. The person entering the results will extrapolate based on the Y/N results. - Try to hide the grading rubric from the student. They may be a bit timid if they can actively see that you are grading them on their performance. - Be mindful of a student's remaining session time. If they have fewer than ten minutes remaining, I would not recommend starting the verbal checkup. # Grading Assessments (Instructor Version) ### Grading Credit - **Full Credit** - Answer is correct - **¾ Credit** - Given for a student able to self-correct once an error was pointed out or there’s a correct answer, which wasn’t simplified or in the wrong place (eg. the student had the right answer in their work but posted an incorrect answer on the answer line) - **½ Credit** - Given if you clarify directions, point out the correct operation (subtract and not add), or help point out an error (“check your subtraction again”) - **¼ Credit** - Given for showing awareness of skill being assessed such as 4 by 2 division with the right steps but incorrect subtraction. - **0 Credit** - Given if you give definitions or show the student how to solve a problem: “least common multiple is the smallest number that...”, “8% means 8 for each hundred... - If a question is marked as **"H"**, this is the equivalent of **½ Credit**.

If you **do not know the answer to a problem, please leave it ungraded.** It is detrimental to our students if we misgrade their assessments. - If you have downtime, please feel free to grade a few assessments in the "Ungraded Bin". ### Turning in Graded Assessments Upon grading a blue/green page, ensure that... - partial credit is given - each page is dated and initialed Afterward, please place the graded assessments in the **"Ungraded Bin"**. Don't worry about any of the other bins.
