When Nathan and I wrote Making Grades Matter, we envisioned it not only being useful for individual teachers or school leaders but also for teams of educators. The end of (nearly) every chapter includes “Assessment Tools for your Journey.” With the help of these tools, departments, leadership teams and entire schools can use the self-reported levels of implementation for each standards-based grading guideline to plan their next implementation supports.

A small public school on the Yakima Indian Reservation in White Swan, Washington, is one of several teams we know across the country using Making Grades Matter to help guide their school’s grading work.

Is your school or team using Making Grades Matter as a book study? If so, let us know in the comments below.
