@RoweRikW And are all grades of an "A" equal? :/ #sblchat

A1: We are required to have a certain amount of grades in the gradebook for every 3 week grade check. #sblchat

Tiffany from Daytona Beach dropping in for a few. Hi everyone #sblchat

fullerenglish Apr 27 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: required number of formative and summatives per quarter #sblchat

alicekeeler Apr 27 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@RoweRikW Yea... it was rhetorical :P #sblchat

MeganCMoMo Apr 27 @ 9:07 PM EDT

Mine too. There are other guidelines as well, although required is a difficult word for me to swallow. #sblchat https://t.co/8ruCjlsHQc

RoweRikW Apr 27 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1 - Our district requires grades from A+ through F with no Incomplete Grades. #sblchat

EnglishAdams Apr 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 grades A-F in HS moving toward SBG #sblchat

kirk_humphreys Apr 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: We are required to give grades each quarter but that is pretty much it. Next year we are going to SBG. #sblchat

Perednia Apr 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@RoweRikW Hey you! Trying to expand my understanding to better serve #sblchat.

hoffmanteambret Apr 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT

I really dislike try to change a SBG to a traditional. Dont equate real well #sblchat

kenoc7 Apr 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT

That is one of the worst possible policies. How do your leaders justify it? #sblchat https://t.co/GKulRrSaCE

TTmomTT Apr 27 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: We are required to have a certain amount of grades in the gradebook for every 3 week grade check. #sblchat

DRich0696 Apr 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@kenmattingly Same here - we have SB in place, but must report with A - F #sblchat

drangelapeery Apr 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@RoweRikW Absolutely they are not equal... #sblchat

A1: Letter grades are required in our district and will be in the foreseeable future. #sblchat

Perednia Apr 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1. Letter grades but our building does have Incompletes per grading period. #sblchat

RoweRikW Apr 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Thank you! #sblchat https://t.co/W7mrJu73g5

drangelapeery Apr 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@RoweRikW Absolutely they are not equal... #sblchat

sandyrotto Apr 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Sandy Otto, ELA teacher from MN. #sblchat always reminds me that there are many who are fighting this important fight. Fuel for my fire.

TTmomTT Apr 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT

That's awesome that you are moving to SBG. #sblchat https://t.co/0g7cEQDaex

EnglishAdams Apr 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 grades A-F in HS moving toward SBG #sblchat

kenmattingly Apr 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT

I'd guess it's because they don't trust teachers. It's the same reason we test things to death in the US @kenoc7 @TTmomTT #sblchat

briley8557 Apr 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT

#sblchat A1 We don't really have policies that govern grading other than we must report to Ps about progress. It gets sticky w/HS transcript

RESP3CTtheGAME Apr 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@sandyrotto Great to have you here tonight at #sblchat

RoweRikW Apr 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Steve, you'll never look back after you've transitioned to Standards-Based Grading... #sblchat https://t.co/vnFJGeP7e2

sthomaschefsky Apr 27 @ 9:06 PM EDT

BradLatzke Apr 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Wish there was a "Dislike" button for schools still stuck in traditional grading. Get admin on #sblchat

alicekeeler Apr 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@TTmomTT @RoweRikW I think in modern times it has come to mean "I am super compliant." #sblchat

dayankee Apr 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

We only collect easy data. We have no way to measure the important qualities of kids so we don't collect data on those. #sblchat

TTmomTT Apr 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@kenoc7 Admin say Ps want grades in the gradbook to show we are doing something. #sblchat

kenoc7 Apr 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@DRich0696 @kenmattingly As long as the A-F have real not symbolic (%) meaning it is a reasonable compromise or transition. #sblchat

drangelapeery Apr 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@Perednia When do the incompletes turn into a failing grade? #sblchat

Perednia Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1. An A does mean mastery of the learning standards in each quarter. 95% for meets, 100% for exceeds. Re-dos encouraged. #sblchat

MrLisekRPSA Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Good evening, #sblchat! Sorry I'm late. Ryan from Flint, MI. MS Social Studies.

briley8557 Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

#sblchat also in ME, we are moving toward a proficiency based diploma. Ss need to demo proficiency on specific content areas.

RoweRikW Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

kenmattingly Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@DRich0696 while not a perfect world, it's much better than when I started teaching. SBG much more prevalent now. #sblchat

alicekeeler Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@RoweRikW @ttmorntt Let's micromanage all the teachers so they do not enjoy their jobs. :P #sblchat

Perednia Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@drangelapeery We don't have F's in our building. #sblchat

RoweRikW Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@geradcarrier Gerad, we are happy to have you with our #sblchat Crew this evening.

drangelapeery Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@kenoc7 That is a fairly common policy - at least in the places where I've worked as a PD provider. #sblchat

brianrozinsky Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Hi, #sblchat. I'm Brian in CO. I teach MS Ss English. A1 Report cards show: A, B, C, F, no +/-. Standards-based practices rule out zeros.

sthomaschefsky Apr 27 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1.1 I have been given permission to pilot my 1 or not yet grading for next year #sblchat

RoweRikW Apr 27 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Q2 Principles are the values that orient what we do. What individual or institutional principles related to grading guide you? #sblchat

TTmomTT Apr 27 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@alicekeeler @RoweRikW That was where I was steering the convo. They were Sr and many liked it that way. Path of least resistance. #sblchat

sandyrotto Apr 27 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@alicekeeler @TTmomTT @RoweRikW Many (esp non-educators) can't understand how an A, B, C, etc can mean so many different things. #sblchat

TracyMailloux Apr 27 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@BradLatzke My experience is admin on board, harder to get Ps to buy in. #sblchat

DRich0696 Apr 27 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@kenoc7 I convert my 4 point scale to 100, 90, 75, and Insufficient Evidence - still have to trick Infinite Campus a bit though. #sblchat

kenoc7 Apr 27 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@TTmomTT Why not check marks just to show formative done? #sblchat https://t.co/CqnKPiwYeQ

@kenoc7 Admin say Ps want grades in the gradbook to show we are doing something. #sblchat

Perednia Apr 27 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@drangelapeery Only consequences honor roll activities & sports; 8th graders need to pass all so no extra study time frosh yr. #sblchat

hoffmanteambret Apr 27 @ 9:12 PM EDT

What is an A in proficiency vs a B or C vs SBG? This is why I hate doing both. #sblchat

brianrozinsky Apr 27 @ 9:12 PM EDT

And/or, "I'm a good test taker." (Maybe those two are related?) #SBLchat https://t.co/p4qgg2OvQL

@TTmomTT @RoweRikW I think in modern times it has come to mean "I am super compliant." #sblchat

MrLisekRPSA Apr 27 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: We are bound by letter grades. We have modified how we give percentages to reflect more accurately against SBL. #sblchat

RoweRikW Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2 - We are solely guided by the learning needs of our Students. To #MakeLearningPersonal, we must have student-centered learning. #sblchat

dayankee Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2 I want kids to be able to DO things. I assess whether or not kids can DO things: create websites, blog, problem-solve #sblchat

BradLatzke Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2 Guiding Principle: It's about the learning, not the grading. #sblchat

geradcarrier Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

#sblchat - pls personal reply if your district/school has adopted SBG. Indicate entity and grade level implementation. Thanks!

RoweRikW Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@Meffscience Come into #sblchat and dry off, Steve!

alicekeeler Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@TTmomTT @RoweRikW SO TRUE! We've conditioned kids to not have to think, just do. #sblchat

DouglasReeves Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: Consider for principles FAST - Fair, Accurate, Specific, Timely #sblchat https://t.co/9td2zVw02X

kenmattingly Apr 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@kenoc7 @DRich0696 they do, but you've convinced me to totally decouple my reporting from a calculation. Changes coming next year #sblchat

@drangelapeery It makes no sense when you understand quality assessment principles so we must improve ass’t literacy. #sblchat

Perednia Apr 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2. Ss can always revise to show mastery; grading % based on how close to mastery of standard. #sblchat

Kristen__Clarke Apr 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2. Equity is at the core of progressive grading practices. #sblchat #AssessPeel

TTmomTT Apr 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

drangelapeery Apr 27 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@Perednia Okay, when does the incomplete turn into a grade? In HS, GPA is still a real concern, and thus, the incompletes hurt. #sblchat

Perednia Apr 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2. To meet goal more closely, I split purchase curriculum tests into standards, then used new text w/my ?s to assess. #sblchat

brianrozinsky Apr 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2 How can I wrestle symbols in a sort-of traditional grading system to reflect what learners know and can do? #sblchat

kenmattingly Apr 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: My main principle is that the grade reflects current state of understanding. Ss never penalized for needing longer to learn. #sblchat

drangelapeery Apr 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@kenoc7 Agreed. But I find it's a superintendent, asst super, or assessment coordinator that sets the policy - and Board approves #sblchat

BradLatzke Apr 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@TracyMailloux Admin responsible for educating Ps & bringing them on board. #sblchat

RQ2 Principles are the values that orient what we do. What individual or institutional principles related to grading guide you? #sblchat

TTmomTT Apr 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@TracyMailloux @kenoc7 A handful. My Ss track progress and should be able to show Ps at any time were they are in their learning #sblchat

EnglishAdams Apr 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 I should have an idea of what Ss will score on assessments based on practice. Asmnts shouldn't be 1st look at the material. #sblchat

kenoc7 Apr 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@drangelapeery @Perednia An I at the end should stay on the report card and have the same value for GPA as an F. #sblchat

@drangelapeery It detracts from GPA in MS. Ongoing convo about that timeframe situation. #sblchat

sandyrotto Apr 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@kenoc7 @TTmomTT I was allowed to use "Nongraded feedback" category to share formative feedback,but had to put 1-4 in for mid-tri. #sblchat

kenoc7 Apr 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@drangelapeery Then we need to educate people at those levels. #sblchat

  Let's find a way of bring all the wisdom in tonight's #sblchat to our classrooms tomorrow! #Please

The premise of “incomplete” is that the missing work was related to proficiency. That’s a hypothesis to be tested - not a fact. #sblchat

Perednia Apr 27 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@TracyMailloux @DerrickJCameron @RoweRikW @DanielPink @DouglasReeves Also bathroom breaks. #sblchat

ajgadd Apr 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@DerrickJCameron students need to show that they have met learning outcomes. Might be by doing something different. NO "exemptions" #sblchat

hoffmanteambret Apr 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

SOOO love this thought!! Prove to me you know the stuff and move past the work. #sblchat https://t.co/d4y9Z7LF2O

This is insane: There are students who will receive D’s and F’s in an AP class when they are scoring 4’s and 5’s on the test. #sblchat

AmitMehrotra78 Apr 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A7: Ont.'s triangulation of evidence = multiple ways to dem. learning - learning = than just products #sblchat https://t.co/NLeYfhMiHU

Q7 The grading Procedures are what teachers do. To what extent are your procedures aligned with your principles & purpose? #sblchat

A7 This is heart of the matter. Far too often I see conflict between Mission/Vision statements & procedures.#sblchat https://t.co/ucgdLdas4R

@DouglasReeves Also hate that 3 sport athletes that move from an A to a B becuase they didnt dress out three days in two months #sblchat

DouglasReeves Apr 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A7: To test application of principles in grading, ask “What 5 of grades from the computerized system were over-ridden by T? #sblchat

TracyMailloux Apr 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@DouglasReeves ...and the opposite is probably true, too. #sblchat

DerrickJCameron Apr 27 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@ajgadd I agree...students have not demonstrated learning from earlier outcomes and no accountability...how 2 respond? #sblchat

ajgadd Apr 27 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@DouglasReeves because they are not handing in assignments or not doing well on tests in class? #sblchat

NgMarlon Apr 27 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@kenoc7 This makes sense and it really is the biggest shift towards #sblchat

kenmattingly Apr 27 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A7: Ss get regular feedback. Tests returned w/in 3 days & Ss begin action plans. Procedures/purpose/principles hand in hand #sblchat

kenoc7 Apr 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

I hope you enjoyed the 7 P's of Grading -Policy, Principles, Purpose, Practices, Practicality, Principals & Procedures. #sblchat

brianrozinsky Apr 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@NgMarlon @DerrickJCameron Possible for no evidence of learning to merit failing grade (if grades are required). Not zero, but 69%? #sblchat

DouglasReeves Apr 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@ajgadd Precisely - high-performing (and low-grading) students are “missing work” that didn’t matter. #sblchat https://t.co/9td2zVw02X

RoweRikW Apr 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Kindly remember to follow those with whom you connected tonight. #sblchat

NgMarlon Apr 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@ajgadd @DouglasReeves Agreed. #sblchat I really wonder how colleges can sort these kids out.

TTmomTT Apr 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A7: I've made a solid effort to make the summative grade reflective of learning and Ss mindset change to focus on learning. #sblchat

DerrickJCameron Apr 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@DouglasReeves learning outcomes from earlier units...no evidence = difficult to comment on S understanding or knowledge #sblchat

RoweRikW Apr 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Like this to thank @kenoc7 for being such an amazing Guest Moderator in #sblchat tonight!!

kenoc7 Apr 27 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Thanks to @RoweRikW for keeping me on track (and on time) and to everyone participating in a lively chat. #sblchat

TracyMailloux Apr 27 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@ajgadd @DouglasReeves Does it matter? If they can score a 4 or 5, then their learning needs were not met in class. #sblchat

DouglasReeves Apr 27 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Thanks to @kenoc7 and colleagues for another great chat! #sblchat https://t.co/9td2zVw02X

AmitMehrotra78 Apr 27 @ 9:58 PM EDT

TY to @RoweRikW and @kenoc7 for helping lead the #sblchat tonight. Gr8 to chat w/ like-minded people.

hoffmanteambret Apr 27 @ 9:58 PM EDT

The ultimate in professional embarrassment. Fail a future astrophysicist or olympic athlete or cut Jordan. #sblchat https://t.co/WBGK3Cr1LT

kenoc7 Apr 27 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret Years ago a Canadian Olympic speed skater said she failed HS PE because of attendance!!! #sblcha

MrLisekRPSA Apr 27 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A7: We can't move away from our goals for our Ss. Grading w/o the purpose of assessing S growth is illogical. #sblchat

technolandy Apr 27 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@DerrickJCameron how does the complete/incomplete work match up w the learning objectives? Focus on the LOs over the tasks #sblchat

TTmomTT Apr 27 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@DouglasReeves I've changed the scores in our grading system to reflect new knowledge so often that the program quit working. #sblchat

ajgadd Apr 27 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@DerrickJCameron we have "incomplete reports". Ss get them when in this place. The tasks allow Ss to show missed learning.Not fail. #sblchat

DouglasReeves Apr 27 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@TTmomTT What a terrific model for all of us to follow! #sblchat https://t.co/9td2zVw02X

Perednia Apr 27 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@kenoc7 Very much. Big TYs to you, @RoweRikW & #sblchat PLN.

MrLisekRPSA Apr 27 @ 9:59 PM EDT

Thanks @kenoc for the great #sblchat tonight. Really had me thinking about my current grading practice. Changes abound starting tomorrow.
