Standards-Based Grading Meet-Up
June 5, 2012 , Shawn Cornally
If you’re in the Eastern Iowa area–and who isn’t?–we’re having a bit of a meet-up to discuss specific implementation issues in a standards-based classroom.
Here’s the link to the event info and registration (free!)
We’ll be talking about very specific practitioner issues, and I’ll be reporting out the ideas and results from the discussion.
If you have questions you’d like the group to parse, please leave them in the comments, and I’ll present them.
Potential topics:
- Sensible re-assessment policies that change student psychology away from points grubbing.
- How to handle kids who just don’t get the homework-is-ungraded-practice mantra.
- How to write a standard so mom, dad, and kiddo can actually remediate without you having to write a worksheet (not helping)
- How to help colleagues who are being muscled into the system.
Aw, shucks! I missed it. That’s what I get for not checking my blogs for 3 days. Looking forward to hear ideas that emerged. I want to learn about:
+ writing standards, and
+ the differences between implementing in math & science classes and in middle school & high school settings.
Please do post the ‘results’ somewhere. I’m afraid Iowa is too big a commute for me. :)
I’ve had decent success with kids who are trying to avoid getting “the homework-is-ungraded-practice” thing by making the analogy to sports. Practices don’t show up on the team’s record, but they’re obviously important, and the varsity coach isn’t going to let a kid play without some serious time spent practicing. This works best with the varsity athletes, but most of the students I’ve had this talk with have (at least grudgingly) admitted that they should do the ungraded practice…
When working in a standards based system, how do we avoid a siloed model where each standard is considered in isolation? I work in a district where SBG is very young and our current incarnation involves skills lists in math classes that allow students to reassess on specific skills as frequently as they want to. I like that their fluency with procedures in improving but the system is compromising quality instruction and taking up huge amount of teacher time. And students are not growing academically because of it. I would like to see assessments that combine several standards being used but teachers tend to balk at those because they feel the data becomes fuzzy. How do we remedy this or am I on the wrong track?
Hi Shawn,
Would love to be there, but it is a bit too far away! I do hope you will post the discussion. Here are some questions:
- How do you use SBG when required to publish scores/grades online at least every two weeks with a gradebook format that is very traditional and has no real options? (I would love to see the gradebook set-ups/formats from a variety of people.)
- I would like to see just SBG format across the board, but the first excuse I hear is “Colleges (as well as parents, and others worried about ranking) aren’t going to accept that – We need letter grades.” I have long loathed the idea that the only purpose of high school is to prepare students for college, but that seems all the more the push these days.
- SBG seems to make sense with special education students (Or any students!). Which concepts/skills are they proficient/not proficient? Yet, the push there is still to either give the kid a “P” for pass or often to modify things to the extent that you know the kids don’t have the skills, but still end up with a “B” or such. How can we be compliant to the laws, but still offer a true picture of student achievement in these situations?
-How does formative vs summative assessment play out in your classroom? If formative is not graded, then what do you do with the kid(s) who doesn’t think it is necessary to do because it doesn’t “count”?
Thank you! Have a great session!
I’ll second that I would also like to have info posted online….school is in session ( and I’m in NY ) Thanks!
Any chance that some/any/all of the info will be posted online somewhere? I would love to hear about all of those topics but we’re still in school…
Thanks for the tip. I wanna get started with SBA so i am coming!
