Is our assessment and grading system aligned with how we teach? We’re opening the episode with this important question.
Join me in this conversation with Michelle Olah while we discuss aligning grading practices with actual language proficiency. We discuss the disconnect between traditional grading systems and what we do in class, discussing the need for a shift towards proficiency-based assessments.
We also explore the implications of such a shift, including the philosophical and logistical changes required to implement grading practices that genuinely reflect students' abilities to communicate and understand the language.
Throughout the discussion, we provide insights into transitioning from a traditional grading system, which often emphasizes rote memorization and penalizes mistakes, to a more dynamic, proficiency-based approach that celebrates communicative competence and real-world language use. The episode also highlights practical strategies for developing rubrics aligned with proficiency standards, engaging with students and parents about the changes, and ensuring grading practices promote equity and motivation.
Key Highlights:

  • Understanding Proficiency-Based Grading.
  • Practical Tips on Implementing Changes.
  • Rubrics
  • Reflections on Equity in Grading.
