Description
Many equity issues can arise when grading MLs, such as the structure of report cards, the validity of the grading content, and grading policies. The Five Pillars of Equitable Grading MLs Checklist provides considerations in the grading of MLs. The checklist can help educators evaluate their grading practices for MLs and make actionable changes.
Considerations
The checklist can be used by various stakeholders, such as administrators, teachers, and school counselors, to examine grading policies at the school and district level. Working groups of various stakeholders can use the checklist to determine goals and action steps to make more equitable grading policies for MLs.
How It Works
Step 1: Reflect on the steps of each pillar and decide the extent to which each step has been implemented.
