Video 2: Why Standards-Based Grading?
Douglas Reeves states, “If you wanted to make one change that would immediately reduce student failure rates, then the most effective place to start would be challenging prevailing grading practices.”
In this video we cover:
- Accurate, specific and timely feedback designed to improve student performance.
- The relationship between a grade and student proficiency.
- Clarifying the criteria used to assign grades to students.
Video 3: Three Problems with the Current Grading System
Problem 1: An unbalanced range of scores.
Problem 2: The meaning of a test score.
Problem 3: The penalties of averaging grades.
Video 4: Prioritizing Standards
There are more standards than can be taught to mastery in the instruction time available. What does it mean to have a priority standard? How does that impact planning?
Video 5: Creating Proficiency Scales
Scales articulate learning progressions for each priority standard. How do scales work with standards? How do scales help students? How do scales help with common assessments and expectations for student learning?
Video 6: Aligning Assessments
The primary purpose of classroom assessment is to inform teaching and improve learning, not to sort and select students or to justify a grade. In this video, we cover three principals of effective assessment design and alignment.
