Have you addressed the proper techniques in determining a standards based grade? Ken’s Repair Kit for Grading would be excellent PD or Faculty Meeting discussions. PowerTeacher Gradebook has been designed with these principles.
Standardized CurriculumStandardized Grading Practices
• include student behavior in grades• reduce marks for "work" submitted late• give points for extra credit or use bonus points• consider attendance in grade determination• assign grades by comparing students to each other• rely on evidence from poor-quality assessments• rely simply on averages• use the zero for missing evidence or punishment• summarize evidence accumulated over time• leave students out of the grading process
If any of your teachers:They’d benefit from
discussing this book!
If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving may not be for you!
The most recent score for all
is a 4!
What does a 4 or a C really mean and how has your district insured this to happen?

BEST PRACTICES: CULLING STANDARDS
1. Less is More! In the Gradebook & on the Report Card
2. Grade Level teachers review all available standards (CC,SS,&LS) and CHERRY PICK
3. Consider CC Sub-Category headers4. Discuss/Decide which will be on the report card and
which will only be in the gradebook5. Provide ample time for UNWRAPPING! 6. Wordsmith any standard over 65/70/75 characters
7. Choose standards that lend themselves to being easily associated to an assignment
Should Common Core Standards Impact Scheduling?
How many courses are you planning to use for English Language Arts?
Reading – Writing – Speaking & Listening - Language
PowerSource Common Core StandardsID 7337 Identifiers- Your Courses, Your Conversion Scales
Consider a user friendly schema for standard identifiers
Removing a,b,c will save time- import template and report cards
Other “Standards” Sites/CDE
Are we using those that you created last year?What about Specials?
Common Core Standards
Common Assessments
How did your PILOT GO?
Common Core are guidelines and should be partnered with your curriculum
1.Consider attending Pearson’s CommonCore Summit @ PSU’s2.Reflect on today and share with other administrators3.Draft an Implementation Plan including communication to all stakeholders, professional development & budget4.Decide to what extent you will involve staff? 5.Cherry Pick your ELA/Math Standards.6.Create draft of the SBRC before summer.
