The Method of Mounting Evidence

The method of mounting evidence is fairly intuitive and straightforward. To follow it a teacher must use a grade book like that shown in Figure 5.9, which is different from the typical grade book. One obvious difference is that it has space for only about five students per page. (For ease of discussion, Figure 5.9 shows the scores for only one student.) Instead of one page accommodating all scores for a class of 30 students, this type of grade book would require six pages. A high school teacher working with five classes of 30 students each, or 150 students overall, would need a grade book with 30 pages—6 pages for each class. Although this is more pages than the traditional grade book, it is still not inordinate; and it is easy to create blank forms using standard word processing software. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that a grade book like this should be considered an interim step only, used by teachers who simply wish to try out the system. Once a teacher becomes convinced that this system will be the permanent method of record keeping, then appropriate computer software can be purchased, as discussed in Chapter 6.
