"This book is about designing classroom grading systems
that are both precise and efficient. One of the first steps to this end is to
clarify the basic purpose of grades. How a school or district defines the
purpose of grades dictates much of the form and function of grades."

"Teachers,
parents, students, administrators, and community members all agree that we need
better grading and reporting systems. Often, these systems are inadequate
because they are part of a tradition that can go unexamined and unquestioned
for years.
Guskey
and Bailey offer four pillars of successful grading and reporting systems:
- Communication is the primary goal of
grading and reporting
- Grading and reporting are integral
parts of the instructional process
- Good reporting is based on good
evidence
- Creating change in grading and
reporting requires creating a multi-faceted reporting system
Written
to help readers develop a deeper and more reflective understanding of the
various aspects of the subject, Thomas Guskey and Jane Bailey’s work brings
organization and clarity to a murky and disagreement-filled topic.”
