    A1 Standards based grading does not give students โ€˜an easy way outโ€™. It demands that they learn. #sblchat
  • RoweRikW Feb 15 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1 - Our High School Standards-Based Learning environment encourages our Learners to be more focused on Learning than just grades. #sblchat

    great point, Rik. SBG helps us turn grades into a communication medium. #sblchat
    In reply to @RoweRikW
  • CoachLesterBHS Feb 15 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1- SBL/SBG yields learners who are self aware and actually know what they are supposed to, as opposed to Ss who can play school #sblchat
    • mctownsley Feb 15 @ 9:07 PM EST
      Q1) What do higher education institutions need to know about standards-based grading practices? #sblchat
  • BradLatzke Feb 15 @ 9:08 PM EST
    A1 Focusing on the learning would certainly reduce the loud complaints from college profs about grade inflation, grade grubbing. #sblchat
  • rickwormeli2 Feb 15 @ 9:08 PM EST
    #sblchat A1: And how SBG better prepares students for the persistence and maturation needed for university level work/success.

    A1: That grades are learning-centered & offer a clearer view of what students know, can do, or understand #sblchat
  • AaronSBlackwel1 Feb 15 @ 9:09 PM EST
    Higher learning needs to know that SBG are a more accurate description of student proficiency and SBL is intentional and rigorous. #sblchat

    A1: That scores won't boil down to a double-digit percentage in the same way as traditional grades...just got that q today #sblchat
  • koliver555 Feb 15 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1 Higher Ed will appreciate accurate and specific reporting of proficiency/grades so they can take learning on from there. #sblchat
  • azawlocki Feb 15 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: That it can be done. Seems simple, but I work in HE. There are many walls that must be broken down to have this convo #sblchat
  • TomSchimmer Feb 15 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1: That the isolation of proficiency has also = a more authentic addressing of character-based competecies (i.e. responsibility) #sblchat

    A1: When we understand our standards and design assessment first, then learners will learn more and teachers will be empowered #sblchat
  • NKleinmeyer Feb 15 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1: Higher institutions need to know that students are learning skills to acquire more learning b/c they aren't focused on grades. #sblchat
  • rickwormeli2 Feb 15 @ 9:11 PM EST
    #sblchat Higher Ed should also know that it's doable, mostly in the smaller sophmore, Jr. Senior, grad courses, but doable!

    A1 How do records from SBG compare to what Universities traditional see? Rankings, gpas & scores are easy to compare? #sblchat
  • TomSchimmer Feb 15 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1: That 'highest grades' = 'highest learning' which isn't/wasn't always true with traditional grading (extra credit) #sblchat
  • RESP3CTtheGAME Feb 15 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1 #sblchat practices empower learners. Clear what learners know & can do. Higher ed app process could benefit from that information
