GRADES
*Norm-referenced or Relative Performance
o “grading on the curve”
o when “grading on the curve,” any pass-fail
decision should be based on an absolute standard (failed
the minimum essentials)

followed by all teachers
* Criterion-referenced or Absolute Grading
o seldom uses letter-grade alone
o often includes checklists of what has been mastered
o the distribution of grades is not predetermined
