- 11. Skills/Standards Based Grading & The Rolling Gradebook What it is NOT What it IS ● Assessing students on ALL state standards. ● Determining the most ESSENTIAL standards to assess ● An (arbitrary) average of student progress over 9 weeks ● The documentation of growth over time/year ● Units taught and “forgotten” ● A built in reassessment system ● Grades organized around assessment types ● Grades organized around essential skills/standards ● Teaching only skills and no content ● Teaching content through skills ● Final grade represents an average of students’ performance (including lack of skill/content knowledge at the beginning of the year). ● Final grade represents students’ end-of-year mastery - what they know/understand/can do at the end of the year.
- 15. Decide on essential skills within a standard Draft summative assessment sections Create a rubric for each section Discuss instructional practices Create check-ins Reflect on check-in data Prepare a retake Reflect on summative assessment results Plan & implement remediation Algebra 1 CT Process
- 16. Sample Rubric ● Students are scored on a 0 to 4 scale. ● A score of a “3” represents mastery of the skill(s).
- 17. FCPS Grading During Virtual Learning March 2020 No Zeros Retakes and Redos; no late penalty Essential Content Only graded assignments as 1, 2, 3 Students’ Final Grade will be the highest of the following: ● Avg of Qtrs 1, 2, & 3 ● Avg of Qtrs 1, 2, & 3 with a minimum 1 grade distribution increase ● 1st Semester Grade 20-21 Grades based on standards (essential skills) Maximums set on outside of school work Monday asynchronous days Two Catch Up Days per quarter Retakes and Redos extended time to complete assignments (no penalty) Minimum grading (50-100) and 4.0 scale EOY Grading ○ NMs for Fs ○ Pass for A,B,C,D grades
- 18. Teaching and Learning Conditions Content was adjusted during virtual learning to include only essential skills Going from 9th grade honors courses to 11th Grade AP courses is a massive transition College Board is not modifying AP content or AP exams Teachers must fill those critical gaps, while continuing to move students forward
- 19. Other Important Outcomes Support Students/Lower Stressors of Grades Students having clear understanding of what is expected of them-no gotchas or moving targets Students having opportunities to always try again and improve-no finite grades until the end Students getting actionable feedback on their progress toward growth Students having more control over their learning Next Steps: ● S-Rotation: a tracking plan to account for contract tracing and movement ● Wolverine Wellness Days: combo of work/catch up days and stress reducing activities ● Volunteer Hallway/Bathroom Monitor Program

- 23. Folders organized by Quarters, Weeks….
- 24. And Days...
- 25. Each day has the agenda and materials (documents, videos, ect.) used during class.
- 26. SIS has a code in each assignment for the student to be able to find the missing assignment on schoology. Example: The code 5.10 let’s the student know that we did that assignment on Week #5 Day #10. Colors mark the skill for the assignment. Pink=Speaking Blue=Listening Yellow=Reading Green=Writing
- 27. World Languages grades by skills: Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking We have a point system to weight between a classwork (1pt), formative (2pt), and summative (3pt) assessment. Nothing is graded on just completion. Students are allowed to redo any assignment. Late work does not have penalty and students can turn it in up to the last day of the quarter.
