What's the best way to ensure that grading policies are fair, accurate, and consistent across classrooms? How can schools transition to a grading system that better reflects what students are actually learning? Tim R. Westerberg makes this journey easier by offering a continuum of options, with four "destinations" on the road to improved grading and assessment.Destination 1 critically examines such popular grading mechanisms as the zero, extra credit, the "semester killer" project, averaging, mixing academic performance with work ethic, and refusing to accept late work, and explains how they undermine objectivity and instead result in widely divergent grades for comparable work—with major consequences for students.Destination 2 invites educators to put assessment and grading into the larger context of a districtwide guaranteed and viable curriculum and lays out the organizational conditions and necessary steps to accomplish this goal.Destination 3 brings parents and others on board with a multiyear implementation plan and community engagement strategies for introducing report cards that indicate student achievement by standards rather than—or in addition to—letter grades.Destination 4, competency-based education, involves a total rethinking of the nature and structure of school, leading to individualized education for all students.However far they choose to go, administrators and teacher leaders can turn to Charting a Course to Standards-Based Grading for the quick wins and long-term support and guidance they need to make the trip well worth the effort.
In 1871, the Midland Railway published its Additional Powers document for the Gloucester and Berkeley New Docks branch. This was to start from the existing Berkeley Road station on the Gloucester to Bristol main line, to the village of Sharpness and the Gloucester and Sharpness canal. There was to be an intermediate station at Berkeley. The line opened in 1876. Fast forward in time to 1964 and the branch line closed to passengers meaning both Sharpness and Berkeley stations were redundant.This book describes the original Midland Railway Berkeley station building, how the facilities at Berkeley developed over the years and how the line declined gracefully until closure. It follows the story of decay and finally demolition in 1984 when the site was cleared and covered over by waste soil.The story continues with the formation of the Vale of Berkeley Railway in 2015. There was then an impetus to discover the old station site to locate exactly where the building was and in the absence of any formal drawings, what the internal spaces may have been. In August 2016, the first sod was turned and so began the project to rebuild Berkeley railway station in its entirety.
