  2. What is Standards Based Grading? • Students receive grades based on their mastery of the standards. • A majority of the grade is earned on tests, quizzes, and projects. • Students may re-take tests and quizzes if they master the material after the initial test day.

  3. Why use Standards Based Grading? • A student’s grade will more accurately reflect the level of understanding of the material taught. • Your student’s grades will be more closely aligned with the mastery of the standards that they are held accountable for on End of Course and ACT tests. • You and your student will have a much clearer picture of what he/she knows and what he/she still needs to learn.

  4. What will this look like on the report card?

  5. Example from Math 1 • M1.A.REI.A.1 Solve linear equations and inequalities in one variable, including equations with coefficients represented by letters. • Test Question: Solve for x. Be sure to explain your reasoning. 7.5(2x – 10) = 3x + 5 • Level 1: 15 x – 10 = 3x + 5 Level 2: 15 x – 10 = 3x + 5 5x = 8x 12x = 15 3x = 0 x = 15/12 Level 3: 15 x – 75 = 3x + 5 Level 4: 15 x – 75 = 3x + 5 (I used the Dist. Prop.) 12x = 80 12x = 80 (I used inverse operations to move terms to the same side & combined like terms) x = 20/3 x = 20/3 (I divided both sides by 12 and simplified)

  6. Example from English • Students read a passage and answer 20 questions. The test has four standards, so it is worth four separate grades. • The student can retake all four parts of the test, or just the two lowest standards.

  7. What about assignments that do not show mastery? • Examples include: • Completion grades just for finishing something • Learning assignments • Practice (like homework) • Anything that will not demonstrate mastery • Can be counted as a 10% grade • Some teachers might not count learning assignments as grades at all • Often, these assignments must be completed correctly in order for a student to re-take a test or quiz.

  8. Cheatham County Schools Retake Policy • Student must get contract signed by parent or guardian. • Student must attend extra help session with the teacher to fix mistakes made and review the material on the test or quiz. • Student must complete appropriate assignment (if necessary) given by teacher during extra help session. • Students will retake the test or quiz when ready by appointment. If student misses an appointment, the student’s parent will be notified about it. • The re-take grade will become the new grade if retake grade is higher than previous grade on test or quiz. • There are no restrictions on the grade you get on the retake. All test and quiz scores are eligible for a retake, even A’s. Only the higher score will be used in gradebook. Students are also allowed to make up as many tests or quizzes as they feel necessary. Our goal is to have every student demonstrate learning. •  Any of the guidelines may be adjusted at judgment of the teacher.
