This page is one of the several documents that come in the binders that I distribute to students (post on that soon once I get photos of assembling them this week). It is a quick reference sheet about some of the aspects of the grading policy for my class.

So what do your assessments look like? Are the same ones that Modeling Uses?
It will change this year, but last year I started writing many of my tests from the Modeling tests. I modified to match the depth and scope of my class and to balance for the standards that I needed to assess. This year, I’m planning to assess more frequently, so tests in general will look a bit different.
How many objectives are assessed each time? Is this done weekly? Is there a sample?
Hey Laura,
That’s a great question. I tried to address some of that in a more recent post (https://kellyoshea.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/offside-assessments/). The very short summary is that several objectives should be assessed by each question (they should be in context, not in isolation). I do a quiz every week, but there are many good ways to handle the frequency of assessment question—just depends on what will work for your school and your students.
