Standards Based Grading


2/19

Why Standards-based grading ?

*Nationwide 30-60 % of college students needremediation.

*National research shows that 50% of those students

who need remediation received As and Bs in thecourses needing remediation (3 million new students

enter higher education each year, and half take at least

one catch-up course while they are enrolled.)

*45% of AD12 students need remediation in college

introductory courses

*In the past thirty years the time (attending full-time and

What is Standards Based

Grading?

Standards Based Grading is grading using

student performance as the sole factor in

establishing grades.

Standards Based Grading uses the overall

trend in student performance. In other words,

we look at the most recent academic

performance of a student when establishing agrade.

How Standards-based Grading Differs

from Traditional Grading Systems Because standards-based scores are based on where a student

is in relation to a standard, teachers will be looking at a student'smost recent work. Teachers will not be averaging scores acrossan entire semester.

For example, imagine a student learning to convert fractions to a

decimal-point format. A student may very well have some poorscores at the beginning of that unit of study, but hopefully thestudent comes to understand that concept after a couple ofweeks of instruction, practice and study.

Averaging their poor initial scores with their improved laterscores doesn't truly represent their final level of understanding.And the same is true if a student understood the early conceptsbut has a difficult time with the more complex ideas, or coastsalong as the unit comes to a close.

from Traditional Grading Systems

Another change we'll see in the standards-based systemis that teachers and students will no longer be tallying up

'points' to determine a grade.

In the past, 'points' might be earned by doing well on a

test, turning in extra credit projects, participation, orhelping out in the classroom in any number of ways.

Standards-based grading in Adams 12 District will be

based on a student's level of understanding in relation to

a standard. For example, if a student helps out to clean up a

classroom after school, that good deed may get reported

out as good citizenship on a report card, but it doesn't tell

us how well they understand the use of commas in a

series or how well they can apply the scientific method in

from Traditional Grading Systems One other example to illustrate some of the main concepts of

standards-based grading is to take a look at learning to play

an instrument.

The first day a student picks up a clarinet we wouldnt expect

him to be able to play even an easy song. He must first learnthe correct way to hold the instrument and how to make a

sound.

There will be clearly defined expectations for where we expectstudents to be as their knowledge and skills progress and

where they should be at the end of the course. (In fact, thats

why a continuum of classes is called a course.

It is a path of learning, understanding and proficiency.)

Difference BetweenMeeting the Standard and

Exceeding the Standard A student may receive a 3 or 4 at

any pointin time.

Generally: Transfer, depth, andcomplexity.

Opportunitieswill be providedfor students to work at the highestlevel of performance.


15/19

Science Example:For example, but not limited to:

Near perfect performanceon assessments must be paired with a

consistent ability to complete additional Level 4opportunities

within coursework with success.

Students should be given opportunities to extend their understanding

to real world applications and problems. Examples of this are

embedded in the Next Generation Science Standardsthrough the

Connections to Engineering, Technology and Applications of Science

section. These should be incorporated into lesson plans as a Level 4opportunity.

Teacher created Level 4 opportunities.
