Grading Assessments

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.

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).
