C. "Because of the centrality of curricular aims in any goal-attainment conception of grading, the curricular targets being sought should be carefully described to students' parents and to students themselves at grading time."
D. "If a teacher can collect defensible assessment evidence of a student's mastery of the teacher's designated curricular aims, then this evidence should be the only basis for goal-attainment grading."
