ABSTRACT
Using the above definition of grading to discuss the context of gradingspecific evaluation situations-leads us to a familiar schematic called “the communication triangle.” This triangle can help us articulate the various contexts in which we grade. Often the teacher/grader schizophrenia we suffer results from our having unconsciously created grading contexts that are at odds with our carefully constructed teaching contexts. Let’s look at the communication triangle as it can be applied to evaluation.
