Great article on grading! My Takeaway: "The best feedback is feedback that helps students understand". Excessive feedback or feedback for for the sake of feedback is not productive feedback and can be ignored. Be intentional, targeted, and goal focused. #EduSky #Math4AllMath4Life
In my latest Edutopia article, Stanford prof. Denise Pope points out the glaring problem with grades:

“The first thing kids would do is go to the back of the paper, look at the grade, and never read my comments."

Why Teachers Should Grade Less Frequently
Excessive grading stresses out kids and teachers, stifles innovative teaching, and fails to deliver as a true measurement of learning.
