Thank you for putting this page together, Seth and Bill.
I am very excited about the thinking that was prompted yesterday, and the positive energy that is evident throughout our school community.

I'm looking for the statistics about the results of comments vs grades on student writing. Does anyone know where I can find that information? It's not in the powerpoint, and I haven't been successful in searching Jernstedt's book. I'm really interested in sharing the specifics with students. I've told them the basics, but I want to be accurate. Does anyone check this wiki? Thanks. --Mary

Where is the information about grades vs. comments?

Mary,

I'm uncertain what statistics you are referring to. I have a couple of great resources (articles) about grading, feedback and learning, but none of these resources has statistics on comments versus grades. I will be at Mt. Abe for meeting this Friday. Why don't you email me (bill_rich@breadnet.middlebury.edu) to explain in greater detail your objective, and I'll bring what I can and put it in your mailbox Friday afternoon. Thanks, Bill.
