FIAE Chapter 12

As the title of the chapter would suggest, we are told about grading scaled in this chapter. We as teachers tend to use the the 100% grade scale since it is traditional and most efficient to use. Wormeli however suggests using the 4.o scale since it's more subjective and puts less of an emphasis on the grade. Since there is less variation in the smaller scale it is easier for faculty to agree upon what criteria is required for each grade. This provides more consistency for students and teachers. Making rubrics, which is something that is required for the 4.0 scale can seem daunting but it will be worth it in providing students and teachers with a more accurate reflection of student achievement.
