Abstract:
The Educators in Focus series features more than 50 instructional videos made by Ontario educators for Ontario educators as a way to inform their professional development, discover new strategies and implement innovative pedagogical practices.
In this video, Ontario educator Amylee Patterson introduces the practice of gradeless assessment at the secondary level. She emphasizes that this evaluation method requires teachers to adjust their thinking in order to actively empower students. In gradeless assessment, traditional letter grade/percentages translate into meaningful teacher comments that provide actionable feedback. The goal is to encourage students to reflect upon questions and invest in their own learning.
