Pair up, share out
• Name?
• Where do you teach/what grade level?
• What experience do you have with standards based reporting or grading?
What are standards?
• Each discipline/course level teacher collaborated to create overarching skills
• Over the course of the year, students would demonstrate ability in these specific skills
• Students would be asked to reflect on their progress in developing these skills
• Twice per year, teachers give feedback to students on their progress in developing these skills
How are standards reported?
Math Standards
• A- Computation and Operations- Students can perform computation and operations to the appropriate level of the course.
• B- Visual- Students can visually represent mathematical situations.
• C- Verbal and Written Communication Skills- Students can clearly communicate mathematical processes.
• D- Problem Solving- Students can choose and apply various problem solving strategies to model and solve a wide variety of problems.
Where Does Evidence Come From?
• Standards-Based Grading on Assessments
• Re-takes/re-assessments of standards throughout quarter
• Projects
Planning
Physics Standards
Two strands:
Physics “content”: quiz-based assessment
Core Values-based: lab-based assessment
Retakes/revisions based on feedback
