Fearless Grading: How to Improve Achievement, Discipline, Attendance, and Culture Through Accurate and Fair Grading

Grading is one of the most emotional subjects in education.  In this interactive keynote address, Dr. Reeves shows educators and leaders how to avoid the unnecessary fights that have surrounded grading reform around the world.  “Start with common values – accuracy and fairness,” says Dr. Reeves.  Once we find common values, schools can avoid unnecessary fights that have derailed so many grading reform movements.  The keynote will provide practice and evidence-based strategies to accelerate the pace of change and bring immediate improvements in achievement, behavior, attendance, and faculty morale within a single year.  Most importantly, the keynote shows how schools can quickly create local evidence of impact, demonstrating that these ideas work with your schedule, budget, and bargaining agreement.
