A1: Communicate! Make sure students and parents know what to expect - give the why and begin to massage the culture #ankedchat

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:07 PM EST

A1: Identifying standards/skills to be assessed - top priority. #ankedchat

BTW - In Ankeny we use Standards Referenced Grading (SRG) because it more accurately describes our process. #ankedchat

A1 Standards-based instruction & assessment and a standards-based mindset. #ankedchat

A3: Formatives - Practice - Summative...it may seem odd, but as long as the standards are the focus the order is less important. #ankedchat

MeganCMoMo Dec 8 @ 9:19 PM EST

That's a bummer. What if a grade was withheld until xx% of HW was complete, rather than include it in the grade? #ankedchat

Could demonstrated mastery on a formative ever be used to *increase* an S's grade? #ankedchat

A3: Very excited this year for Geo that all assessments are organized by standard. #ankedchat #smallsteps

MeganCMoMo Dec 8 @ 9:22 PM EST

maybe used in place of the summative if it assesses the standard entirely, but that's not an increase in grade, is it? #ankedchat

Yes and no - no revisit on the HW policy. #ankedchat

In reply to @kenoc7

I recommend having the assessment of the standards in place before the skill practice is designed. #ankedchat

CovingtonAHS Dec 8 @ 9:24 PM EST

#ankedchat ... Knowing that additional formative assessment and summarize would be required, but "grade" based on current data.

A4: For Alg1 - I have a retake checklist - test corrections, practice of the skills, appointment with me to discuss. #ankedchat

MeganCMoMo Dec 8 @ 9:27 PM EST

Evidence of mastery comes as a stream of data. Most formative and some "summative." Should you ignore formative for grade? #ankedchat

xakellis Dec 8 @ 9:34 PM EST

If you have 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 2 as data, and only the last is "summative," I think the kid should be a 3, not a 2. #ankedchat

#ankedchat A7: Content stuff "scored" 2-1-0: got it, need to revisit, and didnt get it. Biggest struggle is SRG in InfiniteCampus! >=[

I'm convinced that I'll never "get there" - have to keep getting new ideas from practitioners. #ankedchat

Q8: What step can you take in the near future to make a move toward SRG or to continue with SRG in your class? #ankedchat

GroveEnglish Dec 8 @ 9:48 PM EST

A7. Used to have FA and SA categories but realized that was just T lingo; Ss and parents didn't get it. Convos still not on prog #ankedchat

Every communication with Ps includes a definition of what a formative/summative is. #ankedchat

#ankedchat What if you didn't have to do that, though? Are there other ways to comm that?

Probably yes - I need to look at your tweet again...I hate it when we use T lingo with non-T's. #ankedchat

Meaning what's above and beyond the std? What could a S do to demonstrate exceeding on a std. #ankedchat

Short answer, no b/c I don't use the 4 point in grade calc! *shrug*#ankedchat

I work with new-to-profession Ts now, so goals are to facilitate convos around what they're comm via feedback and assessments #ankedchat

The fear is that a 3 will calculate to 75% - that's legit. #ankedchat

#ankedchat A8: Need more prof dev in student self-assessment and tracking tools.

PeaceLoveMHeine - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:54 PM EST

what do you mean legit? a legit fear? or a legit score? #ankedchat

In reply to @DRich0696, @CovingtonAHS

But as Guskey points out brilliantly we should NEVER relate levels to %. #ankedchat

legit fear. My 3 = 90 and 2 = 75 (proficient and developing) #ankedchat

Can u determine a grade w/o % then attach a % at the end to appease the powers? #ankedchat

In reply to @PeaceLoveMHeine, @kenoc7, @DRich0696, @CovingtonAHS

DRich0696 - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:56 PM EST

How does one report based on letter grades tied to % and not relate levels to %? #ankedchat

In reply to @kenoc7, @CovingtonAHS, @PeaceLoveMHeine

kenoc7 Dec 8 @ 9:56 PM EST

No choice at end but that should be only time we use % - and only because we have to. #ankedchat

A7- I teach a language so I try for proficiency scores w/everything. I also track & enter items done in class w/no score #ankedchat

You determine subject grades from summary levels for standards using a logic rule that links to %. #ankedchat

In reply to @DRich0696, @CovingtonAHS

Don't most info sheets about grades contain statements that could disqualify the specific # given so à T could have final say? #ankedchat
