  • lisa_westman Jun 12 @ 7:07 PM EDT
    Hi, all! Lisa, differentiation instructional coach from suburban Chicago. Long-time #sschat teacher.
  • 42ThinkDeep - Moderator Jun 12 @ 7:08 PM EDT
    I'm assuming you have to agree to certain standards that students must meet and then help students work their way up to meet those. #sschat
  • MrRoughton Jun 12 @ 7:08 PM EDT
    A1) Looks like a system where achievement is not measure based on things like behavior or having a pencil. #sschat
  • MrKoz31 Jun 12 @ 7:08 PM EDT
    A1: Skills over content. Goal is mastery of the skill. Multiple attempts encouraged. Multiple ways to show learning. #sschat
  • scottmpetri Jun 12 @ 7:09 PM EDT
    A1 Still have a hard time differentiating between mastery-based & standards-based grading. Are they the same? #sschat
  • MrsLawrenLee Jun 12 @ 7:09 PM EDT
    #sschat A1 I am not familiar with Standards Based Grading.
  • gduralek Jun 12 @ 7:09 PM EDT
    A1: SBG has 1 point rubrics (esp in APWH) for writing. Specific, constuctive feeedback is far more critical than a "grade" #sschat
  • flipping_A_tchr Jun 12 @ 7:09 PM EDT
    A1: SBG means that grade-based feedback pertains to proficiency on certain skill or content expectations, not mere compliance #sschat
  • 42ThinkDeep - Moderator Jun 12 @ 7:09 PM EDT
    Conceptually, I dig standards based grading. I'm just not there mentally yet. #sschat
  • mrs_ldavis Jun 12 @ 7:10 PM EDT

    glad you joined, we can all learn together! #sschat
    In reply to @MrsLawrenLee
  • PattiStrukel Jun 12 @ 7:10 PM EDT
    A1: SBG - evaluating whether students "can do" what you expect in terms of the content. Time becomes a variable. #sschat
  • flipping_A_tchr Jun 12 @ 7:10 PM EDT
    Mastery implicitly permits retakes/redoes, standards-based grading does not (but it can) #sschat
    In reply to @scottmpetri

  • scottmpetri Jun 12 @ 7:11 PM EDT
    Thanks. That provides some crucial clarification. How many standards-based grdrs do you think only give 1 chance #sschat
    In reply to @flipping_A_tchr
  • MrRoughton Jun 12 @ 7:12 PM EDT
    It's extremely hard at secondary. Colleges (and parents) expect letters and expect them often. SBG doesn't fit that mold easily. #sschat

    The bicycle visual really drives home the point for Ss. #sschat #sbg

    WOW! Great work. #sschat
    In reply to @MrKoz31
  • MrKoz31 Jun 12 @ 7:16 PM EDT
    A2: The standard becomes the focus, NOT how they get there (or how long they take to get there). #sschat
  • PattiStrukel Jun 12 @ 7:16 PM EDT
    A2: It opens the door for more ways for students to demonstrate understanding. Mastery of a target can be more negotiable. #sschat
  • cheffernan75 Jun 12 @ 7:16 PM EDT
    A2 it doesn't really change implementation of curriculum, but it makes Ts stay true to the curriculum ¬ drift off to other topics #sschat

  • busybteach Jun 12 @ 7:17 PM EDT
    A#1 #sschat I also feel it is important to have a public audience and Ss MUST reflect before during and after.
  • jacq_mccarthy Jun 12 @ 7:17 PM EDT
    A2: Feedback replaces constant grading. The goal is to get kids to focus on process, not completing a task. #sschat

    Q6: What are some of your favorite resources connected to SBG that would benefit others? #sschat
  • MrRoughton Jun 12 @ 7:54 PM EDT
    Yep, absolutely. We reward every 6 weeks based on GPA. Many standards aren't mastered in 6 weeks. #sschat

    What do you do with those reflections? Do you grade/assess them independently, or use them to help you determine their SBG? #sschat
