=Grading & Assessment--Instructional Cabinet= Please use this wiki to share and discuss issues related to approaching the improvement of grading and instruction in the secondary (6-12).

Grading, why do we do it? Some say its because we always have and it has become the expectation of parents, students, and society. If it is to measure "Mastery", then who defines what mastery looks like? The students, teachers, the state? Can the PSSA measure Mastery? If so, I think I answered my own question. If not, what types of assessments can truly gather the evidence needed to determine mastery? What are your thoughts?
