It’s hard to believe that in 2024, we’re still using grading practices that punish students in ways that have nothing to do with learning. Take the common practice of assigning a 0 for missing work: a student who doesn’t turn in one 100-point assignment receives a grade that’s essentially double an F, digging a hole so deep they may never climb out. For many, this leads to frustration, disengagement, and ultimately dropping out—outcomes that disproportionately impact our most vulnerable students. This is why conversations about equitable grading practices and mastery grading matter so much. These strategies aren’t just about fairness; they’re about giving every student the chance to succeed and ensuring that grades reflect what students know and can do. I encourage anyone invested in education to join this critical conversation. The webinar “Equitable Grading: A Competency-Based Education Entry Point and Core Practice” hosted by the Aurora Institute on 12/17 at 3 PM EST promises to challenge outdated norms and offer transformative solutions. #EquitableGrading #CompetencyBasedEducation #EquityInEducation #edtech

The power of students knowing how many raw marks they are away from the next grade....Life changing 💙 This simple yet powerful insight gives students a clear, tangible goal to work towards, removing uncertainty and empowering them to take control of their progress. It turns abstract grades into actionable targets, boosting motivation and confidence. When students can see exactly what they need to do to improve, it fosters a sense of ownership over their learning journey—leading to better outcomes and a deeper understanding of their own potential. #PupilProgress

Prepare for the upcoming mocks! ✍️ In a recent case study, we highlighted how a former A-Level student improved her predicted grades from DEE to final marks of ABB with the support of Pupil Progress. Our exam-board-specific platform created a personalised report that: - Showed her how many marks she was away from the next grade - Helped her focus on specific areas for improvement - Boosted her confidence to turn her grades around Brett Griffin, CEO of Pupil Progress and a former educator, explains how this data-driven approach empowers students with personalised learning pathways. 🎓 🎥 Discover the full story and learn how you can make a lasting impact in your classroom! 👉 https://lnkd.in/gXR9EYgJ #Education #StudentSuccess #DataDrivenTeaching #PupilProgress #Alevels
