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.
Green Pages (Progress Checks): A progress check is complete when the student turns in a page with fewer than six questions. (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).
