Food for thought: If every aspect of teaching has changed in the last 10 years, why haven’t our grading policies?
As I was contemplating the same questions kept popping up: What is my job? What SHOULD a teacher do?
WOW Moment: Make students responsible for their learning
This idea sounded great, BUT what did that look like in a classroom? 2 keys for implementing standards-based-grading: Grading policies that reflect your goals. Students need to interact with the standard.
My goal is for all of my students to master the state objectives for my course. My grading policies had to MATCH this goal!
Retakes (used for assessments) From grading policy: retakes are subject to change and may be given in a different format than the original assessment. Illustrations/ drawings Oral: question and answer sessions Quick write Multiple Choice Graphic Organizer Concept Map
Brainstorming different ways you could have students show mastery of the standards in your content area or on your campus? 1. 2. 3.
Make sure and set guidelines to this policy that fit the reality of your life. What are some issues on your campus that you will have to consider with this policy?
The most important rule: YOUR INDIVIDUAL POLICY SHOULD REFLECT YOUR PERSONALITY!
THIS DOES NOT MEAN HAVING IT WRITTEN SOMEWHERE IN THE ROOM…. Make Students INTERACT with the standard!G - Setting the GoalsA - Accessing Prior KnowledgeN - Receiving New InformationA - Applying New InformationG - Summarizing & Generalizing
Make predictions on growing pains for your school or district: 1. 2. 3.
Possible positive results for implementing standards-based-grading: 1. 2. 3.
Proactive implementation suggestions: Network with parents to increase buy in. Communicate expectations to students and parents Create a discipline structure that supports your goals. Be a team! Create common grading guidelines by departments, grade level, or schools.
Best wishes for the 2014-2015 school year! Go Lions and Lionettes!
