These are so helpful. I teach high school (juniors and seniors). Do you have any suggestions for how to adopt these measures for secondary school? I struggle to find balance between only grading assessments and not grading compliance and not having the assessments be so "high stakes". In addition, the students have a very hard time recognizing struggle as "ok" and part of the learning process.
Thanks, Christy! I know that I don't know enough about the realities of K-12 education to be really helpful here. But there are lots of resources available at that level -- here's a good starting point: http://mctownsley.net/standards-based-grading/

Numerous students definitely need to learn how to learn. They fall flat with assignments that require multiple steps.
