“Grading requires
Thoughtful and Informed
Professional Judgment!”
“Do Not Use Grades as Weapon!”

“Grading is NOT Essential

to the Instructional
Process.”
 Students performance are
summarized by means of letters.
Example:
A stands for excellent, C
stands for average, D
stands for needing
improvement , and F as a
failure.
 The pass or fail system
utilizes a dichotomous grade
system.
Either a student has
complied and reached
certain standards, in which
he passes or he failed to do
so and he gets a failing
mark.
The objectives of the course
are enumerated. After
each objective, the
students’ level of
achievement is indicated:
Outstanding, Very Good,
Good, Fair or Poor.
 Letters to parents and
guardians are useful
supplement to grades.
However, they have
limited value as sole report
because they are very
time consuming to
prepare.
A portfolio is a set of
purposefully selected
works with commentary
by student and teacher.
 Porfolios are useful for showing
students’ strenghts and
weaknesses, illustrating range
of students’ work. Showing
progress over time or stages of
a
project, teaching students
about objectives /standards
they are to meet.
 The parents of pupils
come for a conference
with the teacher to
discuss the
pupils’ progress.
Portfolios, when
available, are useful
basis for discussion.
 Conferences are useful for
a two-way flow of
information and getting
more information and
cooperation from the
parents.
