@FredEnde I could go for days. IB school we use ATL skills as a grade and Achievement. Progress is for comm only not reported. #NGSSchat

A6 #NGSSchat Also will be assessing 3 dimensions, not just knowledge of content but application of SEPs & CCCs https://t.co/XMhOwXVokP

Q6. How do you discuss grading & grades in #NGSS classrooms with parents? #NGSSchat

halliesmills Aug 18 @ 9:55 PM EDT

In elem. I think a lot of Ts still give a passing grade if they just participate. Need more PD on formative assessment in sci. #NGSSchat

@Steph4Science How did you move away from this? #NGSSchat

@Ted_NSTA Really well! I'm exhausted already :) but really happy #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator Aug 18 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@ajollygal Is there a way to use standardized measures for what they are without getting caught up in the craziness? #NGSSchat

A5: Important for teachers to realize that all kids don't have to do the exact same work. Proficiency can look different. #NGSSchat

TCMSsciteach Aug 18 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@FredEnde ATL goes right along with SEPs which makes life easier. Progress is on 1-3 scale You got it, kinda, need help. #NGSSchat

VogelWendi Aug 18 @ 9:57 PM EDT

This brings a whole new line of grade thinking into play when considering progressions. #NGSSchat https://t.co/Lgd3yyVaRM

@FredEnde Hard for me to determine mastery. #NGSSchat

richbacolor Aug 18 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@eibrc @FredEnde Yes. Agree. So many Ts trying to figure out 3D themselves, so lots of work to be done in this area. #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator Aug 18 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@amykfmurphy Right, and a true performance expectation requires performance, right? #NGSSChat

@FredEnde #ngsschat I replaced #s and letters w/descriptors: Almost There, demonstrates understanding @SEPUP_UCB uses complete and correct

Back again for #NGSSchat. Its helpful. From Hawaii #808ngss

FredEnde - Moderator Aug 18 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@kmgill135 Hmmm .. . . what fixes can you make? #NGSSchat

ajollygal Aug 18 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@FredEnde Yes, but it's hard for me to explain that to parents without "putting down" that type of testing. I have to be careful. #ngsschat

TdiShelton - Moderator Aug 18 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@AnnKristal It's so great to see you! I hope you are off to a great start to the year! #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator Aug 18 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@Steph4Science @SEPUP_UCB Was this "enought?" #NGSSchat
