  1. Standards Based Grading • This is the pilot year for our standards based grading system in science. Instead of traditional number grades, students will be receiving a grade of 1-4 for each science standard that an assignment addresses. Therefore, students may receive one grade or several grades on any given assignment. The Assessment scale is as follows: • 4- Mastery with distinction: “I know something well enough to make connections that weren’t taught. I can apply these concepts to a different situation or teach them to another person.” • 3- Mastery: “I know everything that was taught without making mistakes. I know what I should know as a science student.” • 2- Working towards Mastery: “I know all the easy parts but I don’t know the harder parts. I am trying but I am still confused about some concepts.” • 1- Below Mastery, Unsatisfactory: “I don’t know a majority of the work, or with help I know some of what was taught.” • Students receiving a 1 or 2 will be asked to revise their work. Students receiving a 3 may revise their work if they feel they did not show all of what they know. The standards will be posted on the source for your reference at the beginning of each unit. • Report cards will still show the traditional letter grades. The percentages do not match with the typical percentages/ letter grades because of our new 1 to 4 grading system. The 1-4 grade/ letter grade/ Percentage conversion will be as follows: • 3.25 – 4.0 = A =minimum 81.3% • 3.0 – 3.49 = B= minimum 75% • 2.5 – 2.99 = C= minimum 62.5% • 2.0 – 2.49 = D= minimum 50% • 0.0 – 1.99 = E= minimum 0%

  2. 4 Mastery with Distinction “I know (can do) something well enough to make connections that weren’t taught. I can apply these concepts to a different situation or teach them to another person.” Assignments are handed in on time with all questions answered and a high level of effort is clearly demonstrated.

  3. 3 Mastery • “I know (can do) everything that was taught without making mistakes. I know what I should know as a science student.” • Assignments are handed in on time with an attempt made at each question.

  4. 2 working toward mastery • “I know (can do) all the easy parts, but I don’t know (can’t do) the harder parts. I am trying, but am still confused about some concepts.” • Assignments are turned in shortly after the due date or are turned in on time, but are not complete and demonstrate a lack of effort.

  5. 1 Below mastery Unsatisfactory • “I don’t know (can’t do) a majority of the work or with help I know (can do) some of what was taught.” • Assignments are not completed and demonstrate a clear lack in effort or are handed in significantly late.

  6. We all strive for a level of Mastery! 2 or 1 requires revisions!
