Building Thinking Classrooms Conference 2026

BTC style assessment and grading is the fourteenth and final BTC practice. It is one that many teachers find implementation to be difficult, confusing, or overwhelming. As I am in my fourth full year of implementing BTC style grading as outlined in chapter 14, I will discuss how, when, and where I collect grading data and how I implemented it in my school’s Learning Management System, which is designed more for traditional style grading. I hope that by demystifying BTC style grading, participants will leave with a better understanding of ways to gather BTC grade data and develop a sense of how this can work in practice.
