Grading systems often reward on-time task completion and penalize disorganization and bad behavior. Despite our best intentions, grades seem to reflect student compliance more than student learning and engagement. In the process, we inadvertently subvert the learning process. After careful research and years of experiences with grading as a teacher and a parent, Cathy Vatterott examines and debunks traditional practices and policies of grading in K–12 schools. She offers a new paradigm for standards-based grading that focuses on student mastery of content and gives concrete examples from elementary, middle, and high schools. Rethinking Grading will show all educators how standards-based grading can authentically reflect student progress and learning—and significantly improve both teaching and learning. Cathy Vatterott is an education professor and researcher at the University of Missouri-St. Louis, a former middle school teacher and principal, and a parent of a college graduate. She has learned from her workshops that "grading continues to be the most contentious part . . . conjuring up the most intense emotions and heated disagreements." Vatterott is also the author of the book Rethinking Homework: Best Practices That Support Diverse Needs.

This text offers teachers a concise and applied guide to successfully managing the elementary school classroom within the context of new No Child Left Behind and standards-driven concerns. Mindful of NCLB legislation, this teacher-friendly, standards-driven new edition examines issues and models of management concerns in 21st century elementary classrooms. Well-conceived classroom management helps establish positive environments and programs where communication, cooperation, and dedication to learning prevail. This book is designed to assist teachers, both novice and experienced, in developing and refining management skills that lead to learning and enjoyment of the classroom. New to this Edition: New chapter correlations to the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (INTASC), the Praxis Series, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), and the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) are included to provide easy reference for students. A new section in Chapter 13 presents ways to deal with the emotions of stress that result from unexpected or disastrous events. Discussion of No Child Left Behind legislation, which asks for best practice and research-supported practice, is infused into all chapters. Updated technology, including technology to assist teachers and students with special needs is included (Ch 6) with a clear distinction between students learning from technology versus students learning with technology. New to the chapter on Managing Special Groups (Ch.8), are references to specific assistive technologies for the student and teacher. Chapter 9 discussesextreme behaviors including " the bully, the bullied, and the bystander" that are all too common in today's schools. Related Titles: "Building Classroom Discipline, 8/e" Carol M.
