This Convocation of Learning is meant to be a warehouse of some best practices for Standards-Based Grading. Some examples are from your own peers while others are from the numerous resources explored by CIA and administration. Even if your class/content is not yet diving into SBG there should be something for everyone here in regards to 'best practices' and giving top-notch feedback to students!

Schoolcraft Middle school students in Trish Skinner's class are tracking their learning and goal setting frequently utilizing Google Classroom. CLICK HERE to see and make a copy of the tool she is using and adapt to your classroom!

Taelor Wedel's 4th Grade Students are tracking their learning via THIS SHEET to see how daily work grows into knowledge on Module Assessments!

Here is a cute example of a Bed in Breakfast rubric. When your loved ones receive this rubric, it will include your written comments on one or both sides of each category, telling them exactly how they fell short (“runny eggs,” for example) and how they excelled (“vase of flowers”). Just like with a traditional 4pt rubric, if a target was simply met, you can just highlight the appropriate phrase in the center column.

How does this fit Schoolcraft Standards? Just ask Matt and we'll feature you in the next Convocation of Learning!

I think we're well on our way to missing these pitfalls but we can never be too careful! Check out the list HERE.
