  1. STANDARDS BASEDASSESSMENT What do students really know? What can they really do?

  2. STANDARDS BASED ASSESSMENT Calculate the student’s grade given the scores on your slip of paper. SCORES: B+ A- B- C D C+ missing assignment missing assignment

  3. ENDURING UNDERSTANDING “Traditional grading practices are not valid or fair.”

  4. WHY DO WE GRADE STUDENT WORK? • Documentation of progress • Feedback for student, parent, & teacher • Drives instructional decisions • A method to sort students • Motivation for students • Punishment for students

  5. WHAT IS STANDARDS BASED GRADING? A performance based measure of student proficiency and mastery of knowledge or skills driven by standards. “What the student must know so that they will be able to do.” … NO MATTER THE PATH TAKEN TO GET THERE.

  6. Who do you want to pack your parachute?

  7. AMY had the most passing scores. • Six attempts were passing. • Beth had FIVE • Carol had FIVE • BETH had the highest average. • It was a 65% • Amy’s was 60% • Carol’s was 55% • Carol had the most perfect scores.

  8. TEN COMMON UNFAIR GRADING PRACTICES 1. Extra Credit 2. Bonus Points 3. Grades not relevant to subject

  9. TEN COMMON UNFAIR GRADING PRACTICES 4. Late Work Penalties 5. Not Allowing “Do-Overs” 6. Accepting Incomplete Work

  10. TEN COMMON UNFAIR GRADING PRACTICES 7. Homework as Graded Evidence 8. The “Marking Period Killer” Project 9. Graded “Busy Work”

  11. TEN COMMON UNFAIR GRADING PRACTICES 10. The 100 Point Scale and the “TOXIC ZERO” A = 90 - 100% 11 chances B = 80 - 89% 10 chances C = 70 - 79% 10 chances D = 60 - 69% 10 chances F = 0 - 59% 60 chances

  12. THE TOXIC ZERO • Zeroes skew the average • A zero gives little chance to achieve a good grade EVEN if the skill is mastered WATCH AND LEARN MORE

  13. Let’s compare our calculated grades Why don’t identical scores result in the same grade? Scoring and grading is dependent on how and who does the scoring and grading.

  14. WHY DO WE AVERAGE GRADES? • Averaging underestimates a student’s knowledge. • Averaging assumes no learning has occurred over time.

  15. Learning Targets & a Dynamic Grade book • Assessment tools change to Learning Targets. • Scores are based on the most recent student performance. • Scores based only on what a student knows and is able to do right now.

  16. SCORING CHANGES 4 = ADVANCED (above & beyond) 3 = PROFICIENT (arrived) 2 = NEEDS IMPROVEMENT (on the way) 1 = UNSATISFACTORY (at the starting gate) 0 = NO EVIDENCE OF PROFICIENCY (not even near the gate)

  17. STUDENT VIEW

  18. NEW GRADING SYSTEM: Grading Scale: • 4 = A+ • 3 = B • 2 = C • 1 = D • 0 = F / NOT DONE

  19. ESCHOOL PROBLEM • Eschool is based on a 100 point scale. • Percentages are misleading if both the student and parent are not made aware. • A = 87% to 100% • B = 75% to 86% • C = 50% to 74% • D = 25% to 49% • F = 0% to 24%

  20. MORE ABOUT GRADING : Incomplete work will not be acceptable “Do-overs” encouraged on most assignments Conditional penalties for late work Some class work will be optional (benefits poor test takers) Larger assignments will be weighted No extra credit or bonus points
