garnet_hillman - Moderator Mar 1 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1 I prefer four levels, but anywhere from 4-6 is very manageable and ideal. Percentages utilize 101 levels...too many! #sblchat

A1 School uses 4. My classroom is down to 3 (Ss don't like the lowest level so we drop it). Would love to have 2: got it & not yet. #sblchat

RoweRikW Mar 1 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 - We find the 4-point scale to be more feedback-focused than the 100-point scale which is splitting hairs and heavy on failing! #sblchat

Hi Peg! Great to have you with us. #sblchat

A1: We use 5 Proficiency Levels: 4--Mastery, 3--Proficiency, 2--Emergent, 1--Significant Gaps. 0--too little work. We use it K-8. #sblchat
