  14. Standards-Based Grading with the Common Core State Standards

  15. Standards-Based Grading • DEFINITION: “Grades are feedback to the learner on the degree to which he/she has the knowledge in standards (benchmarks, indicators, learning goals…etc.) at a particular point in time.” Dr. Robert J. Marzano & Dr. Tammy Heflebower http://www.ywp.esd112.org/assets/articles/docs/WA_ESD_May_2010.pdf

  16. Determining Marks for Trimester Grades • Some assignments will be graded and some will not • First attempts and beginning practice should be corrected but no mark given • Only after a concept/skill has been taught and practiced should grades be kept in a grade book • Multiple opportunities should be given for each student to master a standard • 3-5 pieces of successful, recent evidence should be collected to determine final reporting grades (i.e. evidence of student learning through daily work, observations, quizzes, tests, and projects) • Student should be able to consistently show proficiency • If the student is all over the place with marks-- teachers ask themselves---does this student consistently demonstrate mastery?

  17. Looking at Student Performance Over Time

  18. How Can You Use the New Report Card System to Support Your Child? • During Parent Conferences: • Ask to see samples of your child’s work • Discuss the work samples to see if they are satisfactory • Request specific feedback on areas needing improvement • Inquire about resources to support your child
