No matter the content area, evidence-based grading puts student growth at the heart of the classroom. Designed for teachers and administrators of grades 6-12, Proficiency-Based Grading in the Content Areas details a five-step approach for implementing evidence-based grading and maintaining its effectiveness over time. This book equips any educator — from technical to fine arts — with the tools and support to make this important shift.

Use proficiency-based grading (also known as evidence-based grading) to drive student success:

  • Become familiar with the basic concepts and essential decisions of evidence-based grading that apply to all content areas.
  • Learn the five phases of implementing proficiency-based grading — (1) preparation, (2) incubation, (3) insight, (4) evaluation, and (5) elaboration.
  • Explore the steps, paradigm shifts, and pedagogy necessary to implement proficiency-based grading in a particular content area.
  • Study individual-level and institutional-level grading decisions and how they differ from each other.
