I believe that each student should master the basics. Therefore when moving on to upper grades, there will not be a gap.

We've been grading the same way for the past 150 years. The world has changed...school has changed. It's time for grading to change too.

Students need to be the center of what we do each and every day. Don't always look at them as a grade.

In my breakout room, it was discussed that too many standards are being taught too soon. I agree, but dI think it's important though to continue providing growth opportunities for students that can handle the current workload.

Our students are our number 1 focus. Providing them with meaningful feedback will make them feel comfortable and encouraged.

I think a change in grading mindset is needed, but getting everyone on board (parents, government officials, universities) will be the key to success.

Grades don’t mean necessary mean mastery. Can’t grow on foundation if it is not “steady”

We have to know and understand our students personally to be able to "grade" them on what they know or don't know.
FEEDback should be a conversation face to face with Ss.

Meeting kids where they are and providing positive constructive feedback on how they can grow is key.

It seems overwhelming at first, but the discussions with other educators across different levels was so beneficial and encouraging. Just wanting to implement new grading practices in a way that is beneficial to the student, family, and classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the biggest takeaway is that we need to see the whole child. Not every child is geared for college, not every child is a straight A student. But every child has strengths and we need to focus on those to build confidence in them so they do feel successful as a whole.

Allowing students to work and receive meaningful, timely feedback on concepts until they are able to master them and BEFORE moving on to the next concept will prevent the learning gaps that build up down the road for them!

A solid foundation is important.  Mastery is a must.  Failure happens in order to succeed.

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest takeaway would be that we need to focus more on what the students need to learn and not what check box we need to fill. Saying we covered certain material with the students. We need to be more personal with each students and let the students show in their way how they understand the content. Not just a standardize test. Not all students test well. Some can display in their own creative way what they have learned.

Change is uncomfortable but inevitable.

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing that every grade teaches something different calls for different types of grading. From elementary with foundational skills and stepping stones to Middle School digging deeper and being specific to certain skills. High school a whole other world where students have choice on subjects. Grades need to take the whole student and what they are learning into account.

# data[].attributes.body
It's a new way of thinking and gives every child a chance to be successful. We have to remember all students don't learn at the same pace so CBE gives us the chance to meet the needs of every child by letting them learn at their own pace.

# data[].attributes.body
It will be a mindset change that will have to happen with both teachers and students. I am also not sure if students should be classified with grade levels. Maybe a student is at level 8 in math and level 6 in ELA.

Being willing to change, look for better solutions, processes and perspectives that truly the lives of the children move through our schools and continue impact our society for generations to come and have a historical impact.

# data[].attributes.body
We should focus on filling gaps in student's knowledge. We should meet students where they are. This will develop a more well rounded student of life rather than a good student in school.

# data[].attributes.body
Grades have become more about accountability and behavior, and we must make the grades reflective of where students are and encourage their growth from that point. Every child is NOT the same, so we must quit assessissing them all in one way. We can do this!

# data[].attributes.body
We need to make sure students have the basic foundational skills they need to build knowledge that will benefit them for life.

# data[].attributes.body
As we begin this journey, it will take teamwork to determine what the best practices are!

My biggest takeaway is that this is a TEAM effort. We cannot do this without each school, parent, student and teacher.

Our grading system needs to be reformed in order to show what skills students have been able to master.

Based on the data shown that we've used over time for grading, grading in 2020 should be transformative and dramatically different from anything done before, as we live in a different world altogether.

Grading should not be a number! We need to change the mindset of parents and students alike that the number doesn't matter -- it's the mastery that matters!

All stakeholders must work together as a team. This includes students, teachers, parents, other staff members, community members and anyone else who has something to offer. We have to communicate with each other to help fill in those gaps.

My biggest takeaway from this is that relationships matter and that conversations matter. (all levels within the school) If you are able to convey information in a meaningful and supportive way and are willing to take the time for not only that but relationships also, then you are only going to have happy results. Happier teachers (co-workers) and happier students. :)

Students need to feel connected to the feedback on their learning... Discussion, goal setting, and learning that they can learn.
The challenge is in changing a mindset that has been set for so long. The challenge of change...
If we want change, we must accept the challenge.

The biggest takeaway I have is that we have all had our best responses to education when feedback was given from a teacher who made personal connections to us. Being friendly and being aware of the passions and feelings of the students lead to the most effective feedback on students. Our entire group said something similar
