Gradebooks
A minimum of 70% of a student's grade should be based on assessment. I have been monitoring gradebooks and speaking with teachers who seem to need some assistance with this expectation.
Assessments should be used on a regular basis to measure student learning. Therefore, I expect at least one assessment grade per week in your gradebook. Assessments come in many different formats and do not need always be a test or quiz.
