In this short book, you will learn how to better understand what test scores and grades really mean and how to support your learners, beyond the data.

Assessments should score students in alignment to a classroom vision and should be a reflection of the skills students need to be successful. The Success Driven Scoring Philosophy is an education model practiced and described by educators that is designed to move students towards proficiency. This chapter outlines best practices for setting classroom and student goals, providing clear rubrics, assessing meaningful skills and overall how to message to students that “no score is final until you quit.”
