{"product_id":"9781091876477","title":"Unfounded Optimism: A Brief Guide to Grade Inflation in Educational Performance Management and Quality Assurance Systems (Masters of Teaching)","description":"Mention grade inflation and most educationalists will immediately think of student examination results. However, grade inflation can exist wherever graded systems are used, resulting in an unduly optimistic view of performance.In this book, the authors examine grade inflation in those educational performance management and quality assurance systems that use grading systems. In particular, they look at grade inflation through the lens of graded lesson observations.The book defines grade inflation and examines how it arises. In addition, it identifies what enables grade inflation to grow undetected and the consequences, together with practical steps institutions can adopt to minimize its impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003ePat Samuel, Jonathan Hills\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJun 12, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e111 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1091876479\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781091876477\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50363944337713,"sku":"9781091876477","price":12.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781091876477__07809.jpg?v=1732430602","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781091876477","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
