Kathy who is coming to you from very snowy Barnet, Vermont #sblchat

jtmehr Mar 15 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1. Assuming you already aligned standards, I agree with @garnet_hillman that a simple step would be to remove all behavior grades. #sblchat

In reply to @garnet_hillman

garnet_hillman - Moderator Mar 15 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Agree - if you try to keep going without knowing your standards problems will arise and stagnation can set in. #sblchat

JohnSchlender Mar 15 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Be sure to share with all stakeholders what WON'T change with grading. #sblchat

seangrealis Mar 15 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Or worse than that, confusion and inconsistent application of the standards. That will kill any attempts to change #sblchat

In reply to @garnet_hillman

In reply to @rickwormeli2

rickwormeli2 Mar 15 @ 9:12 PM EDT

#sblchat Right on! This one step is one of the, if not THE, crucial step. Just clarifying evidnc of standards opens a 100 doors

In reply to @KatieBudrow

rickwormeli2 Mar 15 @ 9:13 PM EDT

#sblchat A very close second step (or a first one) is to concentrate on less curriculum per symbol, disaggregation.

In reply to @garnet_hillman

A2 In my school it is a combination of CCSS, NGSS, 3C, and other national/state standards. #sblchat

RoweRikW Mar 15 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 - Departmental teachers brainstorming about the Power Standards, the Sequence, and Connections is vital to the Learning. #sblchat

#sblchat Grading accurately, ethically is a recognized concern in every developed country I've visited.

Jennifer from Okla joining Late...mostly lurking. Interesting topic! #sblchat

KatieBudrow Mar 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6 My advice? Focus on learning. Always ask yourself, 'Why is this good for learning?" with any current practice or new change. :) #sblchat

technolandy Mar 15 @ 9:53 PM EDT

absolutely -nobody wants to assess and evaluate poorly (though I still see some scantrons here & there) #sblchat

A6 Started with being explicit with standards and included Ss with self-reflection and feedback on standard clarity. #sblchat

garnet_hillman - Moderator Mar 15 @ 9:55 PM EDT

I did not score formative - feedback only. Kids tend to fixate on scores when we want them focused on the learning. #sblchat

We record our HS Math FAs, but replace with the Summative Assessment. #sblchat

A6 The first step is always the scariest, especially when you are only T taking the step. How to approach admin about SBG? #sblchat

rickwormeli2 Mar 15 @ 9:56 PM EDT

#sblchat Read at least 3 or 4 books on SBG, assessment, see re-occurring themes. 'May say something differently that clicks.

Sean, I was the first in our school and our Learners asked other Ts to move from traditional to SBG! #sblchat

A6: Don't forget this is all in efforts to provide feedback to promote learning. It's not all about a report card box. #sblchat

Scantrons ok as long as they are supplemented with other methods. Cant rely on them alone #sblchat

#sblchat Bang on, Garnet -- It's worth the extended, awkward, candid, occasionally exasperating conversation -- every time.

Seen that fixation too. But feel like a score is easiest to report to Ps. Also lSs know exactly where they are. #sblchat

Now I have to listen to my daughters jazz and concert bands - a great way to get ready for spring break! #sblchat

#sblchat That kind of goes with the idea that we should always start with what we believe in common -- the bigger picture.

garnet_hillman - Moderator Mar 15 @ 9:59 PM EDT

Students will actually know more with feedback rather than a number or letter. It is more descriptive. #sblchat
