Editorial Reviews

Review

"Grading from the Inside Out is a model of authentic professional learning. In this immensely practical book, Tom Schimmer gives hope to educators who might fear that grading reform is great in theory but impossible in practice. By countering many of the myths of grading reform, Schimmer provides a thoughtful way to reconcile conflicting points of view on this emotionally volatile subject. This is not a book merely to be read; it deserves to be studied and applied by teachers, parents, and administrators."

--Douglas Reeves, Author; Founder, Creative Leadership Solutions

"Grading from the Inside Out eloquently weaves analogy and practicality together to create a clear pathway to high-quality grading and reporting practices focused on learning. Educators will find clarity and depth to bring grading practices to life in powerful ways. This is an essential resource to create a culture that empowers learners, teachers, and administrators to make grading a rich communication tool for students, families, and educators."

--Nicole Dimich Vagle, Author, Educator, and Consultant

    While I found it very dry at first, there are a lot of good studies referred to, mindsets to be held and pages I photocopied to use in my own hs classeoom. I'm a teacher interested in doing SBG alone, in a district/school that is not SBG. This wasn't the MOST helpful of all the books I've been studying, but it was not a waste of time.

    As a high school teacher who has experimented with standard-based grading the past two years, I can honestly say this is one of the best books within the field of education I have ever read. It lays down the basic mindset needed to shift your views on assessment while not attempting to give you all the answers. Instead, Schimmer guides you to thinking what would work best for your district and classroom. A must buy for those looking to reflect on their teaching and assessments!

    We are using this book as a whole school staff PD resource and it has been extremely useful. Tom addresses many of the questions teachers may have to the pit falls of assessment change and to the WHY we need to make change. He gives clear concrete examples with context to classroom and whole school application. Highly recommend this book.
