What is the role of checklists in SBG? Is it 'best practice' to use a checklist in addition to the rubric?

I think grade level scores are not descriptive enough. I think their needs to be 1.. 1.5. 2.5...3.0 3.5 and 4.0.
In a students mind a 3 is good but a 2 is terrible.

Or We could have language like proficient and semi proficient... something more than just 1...2...3..4....
Even assigned letter grades without percentages...a bi-product of SBG.
E, P+, P, P-,P, G+,G,G-, BN+,BN, Y( Yet to Meet)

Side Note and Example
In English class students are receiving 3's and they are not proficient... Receiving a 2 is a death sentence to them but they are not proficient. There needs to something between a 2 and a 3 to say this student isnt quite a 3 but they arent quite a 2.

In high school, NG means no grade. Zero point. (Lower than F)
So it's a bit confusing, but we don't include grades in final grade, so it doesn't matter if we check with NG, right?

Many student see "ungraded" and will not feel the need to do it. If we feel the practice is valuable what should we do to encourage students.

If we value most recent grades more highly, units at the end of a quarter count more. In some subjects, skills and knowledge required vary a lot with each new unit, rather than building throughout. How do we deal with this difference in subject content/learning?

It doesn't seem like most parents or students have buy in. No one wants a C and everyone wants an A. An A still means 100%. No amount of staff PD or training is going to change this thinking of our parents and students. ~I'd be more comfortable (and confident) with using SBG if there was more buy in from the community.

By using an average letter grade in PS, it reinforces the thinking that A is 100%. Are we doing more harm than good in the community we serve?

Do I have to look at the academic part when students are late with their assignments? Even though submitting within a given time was a condition, if you submit it late, you will have more time to complete the task than other students.

I always liked the metaphor for learning to drive when we talk about most recent evidence.  We don't average indicators of your ability to drive before we give you a license.  You have things you must learn (standards) and once you have learned them you take your driving test and you either pass or you try again.  We don't punish people for how long it took them or how many tries.
