Hi Dorit,

Welcome to your new topic here at New Teacher Support! You are off to a great start with your first two articles.

Grading is a controversial issue - alternative assessment is an interesting concept, too.

I just completed an article about a school in my area that isn't issuing report cards. They are keeping grades, but students don't get quarterly report cards - grades accrue over the course of the school year and monthly updates are sent. Parents and students can also log-on to the online gradebook to check progress. Interesting...

Keep up the great work and thanks for a very interesting article.
