  2. What is Standards-based Grading and Reporting and Why are We Implementing It?

  3. Why did we change? • Traditional grading is often subjective and combines everything in a subject into a single grade • Since each subject has multiple skills that must be learned, the grade does not tell you anything about what particular areas a student mastered or what areas are still in progress. • Traditional grades are often not consistent from one teacher to the next.

  4. How is this better? • More consistent standards across classrooms • Measures all students on a comparable scale • More accurately shows families specific areas of strength and areas that are in development • Tells us what students have actually learned • Looks at knowledge over time; moving toward proficiency

  5. What is the same • What we value is still the same, what has changed is the way in which we communicate the information to you. • We want all students to learn, to become responsible, and to provide information to families about achievement

  6. Why are we implementing standards-based grading and reporting? New • ES, P, I, N • Grades based on quality or depth of learning (proficiency and mastery) • Objective specific Old OLD • O, S, N or A, B, C • Grades based on the quantity or amount a child mastered (percentages and points) • Subject specific

  7. Levels of Performance Instruction begins at the grade-level standard. How the student performs at the grade-level standard determines level of proficiency. Exceptional (ES) Exceptional at the grade-level standard. Instruction on the Measurement Topic Proficient (P) Meets the grade-level standard by demonstrating proficiency of the content or processes for the measurement topic. How the student responds Inprogress (I) In progress toward meeting the grade-level standard. Not yet or minimal (N) Not yet making progress or making minimal progress toward meeting the grade-level standard.

  8. What is the goal? PROFICIENCY!!!!!

  13. Reporting Progress The goal is for all students to get a P This may take more time for some than others ES is not automatically given to students above grade level; instructional level and proficiency on measurement topics are separate areas It is about quality, not quantity or speed
