Power Grading™: The Complete System is a teachforjune™ Webversity™ course that will teach you how to create a standards-based grading system in your classroom and how to develop accurate and effective assessments that truly assess your students’ learning. This is a 5-week course that comprises 15 hours of instruction divided over 5 webinar episodes.
Each week we will “meet” online to debrief the previous episode’s learning, learn a new component of the system, and have some time for some personal Q & A before you are invited to apply that new element in your classroom for two weeks before we meet again. Each episode is around 3 hours and is recorded so that you may review it at any time during the course.
You will also have access to a member-only, online forum so that you can connect with other Webversity™ participants and the instructor for encouragement, support, and questions as you work to apply and integrate each individual component.
The cost of the Power Grading™: The Complete System Webversity™ course is $300 for over 15 hours of instruction! That’s a 50% savings over what the individual webinars would cost.
