[LM_NET] TARGET->elementary library report card grades

["Pulis, Pat" <patpul@FPS.FITZ.K12.MI.US>]

Dear LM_NET Members:
 
This is my first posting to LM_NET.  I tried to read all of the
directions and I hope I am doing this correctly!  I will post a HIT
after a period of time.  I am aware that there has been discussion on
this topic before because I checked the archives, but I wanted to get
some current repsonses.  The latest dates in the archives were from
2004.  I have also posted this to the MAMELIST listserv, so I apologize
for any cross-postings.
 
I am serving on a committee that will be revamping the elementary report
card. I need responses with the following information in relation to
giving grades for Library classes:
 
*  a brief description of your situation (fixed or flexible schedule?)
*  Do you give grades? 
*  If you do give grades, what kind are they (A, B, C, etc. or Positive,
Needs Improvement)?
*  How often do you mark report cards? 
*  Do you feel that giving grades is effective?
*  Do you know of any research that supports giving grades, especially
in a fixed schedule situation?
 
Thanks so much for your time.
