  4. A Tale of Two Views

  5. Horizontal View • When looking horizontally across a standard to determine mastery of that standard, teachers should make sure that they have multiple measures and take into account a student’s most recent evidence of performance.

  6. Vertical View • When looking vertically along a set of standards to determine a summative score, teachers should look for a pattern of ratings.

  7. Let’s go Skydiving • I’ve decided to go tandem skydiving. When I get there, I am told they have 3 student instructors that have just completed their skydiving class. • Thinking that packing a parachute is the most important skill, I ask to see evidence of how these students performed on this skill (standard).

  8. Let’s Go Skydiving: Horizontal View Score Proficient Opportunities to pack a parachute Which student(s) should I pick and why?

  9. Let’s Go Skydiving: Vertical View Which student(s) should I pick and why?

  16. Questions to Consider Consider the following questions when establishing building level expectations for consistency in Gradebook in preparation for the upcoming parent portal: • Should deadlines be established for teachers entering assignments into the Gradebook (i.e., weekly, biweekly)? • Should PLTs work to create common assignments that will be entered into the Gradebook? • What on-site professional development and/or conversations need to take place to better align grading practices to standards-based grading? • What structure will be used and how often will work habits/conduct assignments be entered and graded in the Gradebook to align with the 1-3 rubric? • How will the school ensure the work samples and behavior reports sent home align to the scores recorded in Gradebook?
