A1- Shift from compliance and "playing school" to actual learning. Dont\'t distort achievement with behaviors. #sblchat

Kristen__Clarke May 11 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1. Student learning must be noticed and named through a curricular lens. Standards provide that lens. #sblchat https://t.co/aPSW2SEM7d

garnet_hillman - Moderator May 11 @ 9:05 PM EDT

Q1 What is the purpose of Standards Based Grading, why make the change from "traditional"? #sblchat

hornsclassroom May 11 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1) SBG focuses on growth. There is not a final number representing an end, but continual learning #sblchat

TTmomTT May 11 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: SBG/SBL focuses on Ss learning, ownership of the knowledge, progress as success #sblchat

MrLisekRPSA May 11 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: SBL sets the outcome for students and allows them to grow toward that standard. No grade for not turning in or participating. #sblchat

garnet_hillman - Moderator May 11 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1 With SBG, grading is not punitive & it is not compensation for our students. It simply reports academic achievement. #sblchat

A1 - Our SHIFT to Standards-Based Learning has transitioned to "Learning" from merely "playing school". #sblchat

Failure of who? T, S, or Ps? All? #sblchat https://t.co/Nr7MTuHYnf

ADiazMora May 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1- in a grading practices committee, the ? was: how to define failure? I think SBG will help in defining it #sblchat

CoachLesterBHS May 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2- Separates the actual learning and achievement from the everything else. Too many things distort achievement in "traditional" #sblchat

RoweRikW May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2 - Standards-Based Grading indicates where Learners are relative to Proficiency where traditional is more about chasing points. #sblchat

garnet_hillman - Moderator May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2 SBG does not average past achievement with current proficiency levels, and is criterion referenced rather than norm referenced. #sblchat

KatieBudrow May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2 SBG separates out learning from behaviors. Both are important. Both are powerful when analyzed and talked about separately. #sblchat

ADiazMora May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2 traditional grading includes a lot of nonacademic materials- behavior, attendance, etc. This isn't a Ss learning #sblchat

DrBrianWright May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Hello, #sblchat! Lurking a bit tonight, but probably won’t be able to stay silent!

Diana_Sarao May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: For starters, it's not an arbitrary 100 point scale (says @tguskey). #sblchat

@Diana_Sarao Welcome to #sblchat! It's the best way to spend a Wednesday night.

Mrs_Krapels May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@jpeterson1427 @CoachLesterBHS It doesn't - not even a little! #sblchat

CoachLesterBHS May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@garnet_hillman Yes! Doesn't matter how long it takes to get to the learning. #sblchat

bethhill2829 May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: SBG is focused on the learning/growth. Traditional grading is focused on the performance. More normed. #sblchat

technolandy May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1 sbg also keeps the focus on the learning, not adding up and averaging task scores - that's just "mean" (numeracy joke) #sblchat

kirk_humphreys May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: SBG develops a growth mindset. #sblchat

Ms_Heilsberg May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

YES! My girls love working on what they need and not "wasting" time. #sblchat #learnwhatsneededformastery https://t.co/9VqJC89st3

RoweRikW May 11 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 - With Standards-Based Learning, we are more driven by the needs of our Learners than by the pages in a textbook. #sblchat

kenoc7 May 11 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@miss_seyller Columns are standards not assessments, tests and projects. #sblchat.

Hello #sblchat! Jumping in a bit late tonight. Derek, 7-12 SS Teacher English Valleys CSD in North English, IA.

garnet_hillman - Moderator May 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2 SBG separates achievement from process (behaviors), and progress to accurately report information about students. #sblchat

Kmanna15 May 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: SBG is focus on learning outcomes and does not punish Ss for not learning the material immediately, gives process time #sblchat

RoweRikW May 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2 - Our 4-point scale for Standards-Based Grading cares more about ranges than the traditional that is for point accumulation. #sblchat

j_ozbolt May 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: SBL focuses more on the accumulation of knowledge than the accumulation of pts. #sblchat

hugghinss May 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@CoachLesterBHS @garnet_hillman @Mrs_Krapels I would love those examples also. I teach in a traditional grading school. #sblchat

@hoffmanteambret failure on the Ss end so on a 4 pt scale, what is failing, or on a 100 point scale, what is failing? #sblchat

geradcarrier May 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

#sblchat A2 moving from traditional accumulation of points to levels of achievement based on learning standards

donald_gately May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@ADiazMora @hoffmanteambret why do we insist on using this word "failure" #sblchat what does that mean?

jasperfoxsr May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Trad grading is a "one and done" SBG allows for re-iteration, a necessary component in learning #SBLChat

hornsclassroom May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2) SBG focuses on specific standards, not assignments- the grade book is constantly changing over time #sblchat

Kmanna15 May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: SBG gives a clearer picture of student understanding of each standard instead of average all standards together (traditional) #sblchat

kenmattingly May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2 SBG informs Ps, Ts, &bSs about standing in relation to identified standards/targets. Trad grading tells how S did on activities #sblchat

NKleinmeyer May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: My twitter inspiration were 2 chats going on right now. #sblchat and #nebedchat its a dueling chat Wednesday.

TTmomTT May 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@PrincipalMKelly Information about learning and progress can still be available. It’s just not finalized. #sblchat

technolandy May 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@PrincipalMKelly nicely said! Our shift to efolios also helped end "periods of learning" & cramming units into the report calendar #sblchat

kenoc7 May 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

That is GREAT. Grading periods are just administrative and communication conveniences. #sblchat https://t.co/0Bt7psxb2J

YES!! #sblchat https://t.co/G9CwLnwpiG

@Ms_Heilsberg @PrincipalMKelly They have to be even less important in the age of parent portals and grades everyday. #sblchat

@PrincipalMKelly Get rid of the word "grades" & use "goals" instead. Ss want to work toward goals #sblchat https://t.co/bEqTjovWVq

A7: Hwk is to practice, to identify what Ss know and what not yet. I post all hwk keys on LMS #sblchat

TTmomTT May 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@Kmanna15 @CoachLesterBHS me too! I always love looking at new/better ways to do things. #sblchat

technolandy May 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@garnet_hillman A7 tasks?? We talkin' 'bout assessing tasks (that a dad might do for his kid....not me - other dads) #sblchat

miss_seyller May 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@garnet_hillman What are some ways you provide meaningful feedback for Ss on formative practice that Ss will take seriously? #sblchat

hugghinss May 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@kenoc7 @drjolly Wow!! Thank you. I have been trying to get with someone in Texas in the know. #sblchat

coachddixon13 May 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels Then it is the Ts job to establish the relationship with Ss that the expectation is complete it if it's needed. #sblchat

TTmomTT May 11 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@hugghinss Sounds good. Let's have a convo. #sblchat

teamtomwaters1 May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@DrBrianWright That's good. Somewhere near minimal passing is basic knowledge, but "A" is higher level rigor. #sblchat

garnet_hillman - Moderator May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Cheers to everyone for an awesome hour of sharing on #sblchat. Our #PLN is #bettertogether!

jasperfoxsr May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

#sblchat Always amazed at the creativity demonstrated by Ss copying each others HW https://t.co/ZPyl9nIJfY

A7 Ts can model Learning Opportunities (show struggle of learning) & what productive struggle looks like #sblchat https://t.co/jhMdmrKSjL

RoweRikW May 11 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A7 - We use Learning Opportunities, not assignments or homework. When Learners need Extra Practice, we do it together. #sblchat

RoweRikW May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Tonight's #sblchat had real #Flow of Learning... Love it! @garnet_hillman

Mrs_Krapels May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@coachddixon13 I totally agree -not impossible, but difficult. I see my Ss 45min/day-their lives have a lot of complexity beyond me #sblchat

Perednia May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@TTmomTT @RoweRikW Love it when Ss want to extend themselves. Some still want that A; not same thing. WIP #sblchat

ADiazMora May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A7 HW is rewarding S who learn the first time. We grade kids while they’re learning & that is demotivating (Varlas) #sblchat

hornsclassroom May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A7) winner of a football game is not evaluated based on a score during practice BUT how well they do is impacted on the practice #sblchat

Diana_Sarao May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Wow, information overload. What a smart group! #sblchat

jasperfoxsr May 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT

.@TTmomTT really? I'm thinking, like, either I can do a quadratic equation or not #sblchat

DRich0696 May 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Come join the dreamworld tomorrow night - your ideas will help build the perfect school. #sblchat #nebedchat https://t.co/MdIHJY450T

geradcarrier May 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT

#sblchat A7 HW/assignments are part of the learning process that help students meet the learning target

RoweRikW May 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Smart Room... #sblchat https://t.co/1WLLBECz6I

Diana_Sarao May 11 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Wow, information overload. What a smart group! #sblchat

Mrs_Krapels May 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@jasperfoxsr And I always wonder, "Wasn't this MORE time consuming? Wasn't it MORE work this way?" #sblchat

garnet_hillman - Moderator May 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@miss_seyller As far as a method for feedback - it comes in many ways - f2f conversations are the most powerful. #sblchat

jasperfoxsr May 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Wow! that hour flew by! TY everyone for a great conversation tonight on #sblchat

ADiazMora May 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@technolandy @Mrs_Krapels I am not understanding this comment?! #sblchat

teamtomwaters1 May 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@PegGrafwallner I agree. That's how is mostly perceived and communicated. Unfortunately, right? Goes back to PL and #edleadership . #sblchat

CoachLesterBHS May 11 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@RoweRikW @Diana_Sarao The smartest. Always come away with new ways to improve my classroom and Ss learning. #sblchat

coachddixon13 May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels Yes but we need to focus on learning being the constant and not time and making it well known that it is for feedback. #sblchat

RoweRikW May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Let's share our gratitude to @garnet_hillman for ALL she does each week for our #sblchat Crew! Let's hear it!!!

kenoc7 May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@RoweRikW @garnet_hillman Thanks to you two and all. Looking forward to meeting some of those in #sblchat at the CAfLN conference Fri & Sat.

jasperfoxsr May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Appreciate @garnet_hillman @RoweRikW guiding the conversation tonight! #sblchat

ADiazMora May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

#sblchat so much for lurking tonight!

TTmomTT May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@jasperfoxsr We look at conceptual vs non-conceptual errors Those are diff levels for us. I want to use 0 & 1 but can't sell it. #sblchat

coachddixon13 May 11 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Hey PLN! Looking for SS educators in Iowa that have done vertical standards alignment through Iowa Core. #sblchat #iaedchat

A7)winner of a football game not based on a score during practice BUT how well they do in game is impacted by the amount ofpractice #sblchat

Mrs_Krapels May 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@coachddixon13 I don't disagree - just acknowledging that it's easier said than done. 17 y/os have a fair amt of autonomy. #sblchat

RoweRikW May 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@DrBrianWright Brian, we are all better when we share, brainstorm and reflect... together! #sblchat @garnet_hillman

KatieBudrow May 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT

Thanks for another great one #sblchat! See you all next week!

teamtomwaters1 May 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@PrincipalMKelly #Edtech can open this up. MPs are about reporting, and parents don't want to wait to know anyway. Good point! #sblchat

Perednia May 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@hugghinss @garnet_hillman We're there right now. I believe in FA as practice, so it's a work in progress. #sblchat

TTmomTT May 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT

I don't think I was ever at the top of this feed all night. We are on fire! #sblchat

dee_diane May 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@miss_seyller I plan reteaching/practice/enrichment based on their results. Discuss importance of practicing what you really need. #sblchat

RoweRikW May 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@jasperfoxsr Jasper, the icing on the cake was your presence in #sblchat tonight! Thank you Friend! @garnet_hillman

coachddixon13 May 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels If teaching were easy everyone would do it...but we do have the MOST important job in the world. It's HARD work! #sblchat

technolandy May 11 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@ADiazMora @Mrs_Krapels my kids show their learning in very different ways (one great at game of school, another a 'square peg') #sblchat
