To be effective, grade reports must hold meaningful communicative value for students and their parents. Over a hundred years of research evidence supports this notion (Brookhart, et al., 2016; Guskey & Brookhart, 2019), which provides us three defining criteria to clarify the meaning of grades and from which to judge grading’s effectiveness. The three criteria are:


Criteria 1: Report student performance based on key grade level or course standards rather than a single content-area grade
Criteria 2: Report student achievement using a limited number of performance categories
Criteria 3: Report academic achievement grades separately from information related to noncognitive (behavioral) factors
 
BREAKOUT SESSION 2: QUESTIONS
  1. Does BASD’s existing grading policies and practices uphold all three criteria? Explain with supporting evidence. 
  2. What noncognitive (behavioral) factors (i.e. participation, effort, work ethic, homework completion, attendance, etc.) would be most useful to BASD students and parents if reported separately from academic grades (i.e. tests, quizzes, projects, labs, etc.)? List no more than 5, and rank them in priority order with “1” given the highest priority.

*This is to say that there are no formal, consistent methods for reporting nonacademic factors across the district. However, there is a vast amount of communication that occurs through individual contact with parents to meet these purposes.

Criteria #1: This would only happen if the teacher structures their grading this way.
       Criteria #2:  Again, this would depend on how each teacher structures Eschool.  From a parental perspective, this means that parents need to learn the grading/Eschool structure of each teacher their child has.
       Criteria #3:  While many teachers categorize and give a "responsibility" or "participation" grade, that is not indicated on a report card since it all becomes one cumulative grade.  Instead, comments tend to report on behavior.

    Criteria 1: Report student performance based on key grade level or course standards rather than a single content-area grade
    Criteria 2: Report student achievement using a limited number of performance categories
    Criteria 3: Report academic achievement grades separately from information related to noncognitive (behavioral) factors
     
    1.  A. No, the existing report card template from the district does not report on grade-level standards
    B.  No, there are no performance categories broken down on the report card, however they are available in Schoology for 24/7 hour access for parents and students
    C. No, we give a summative grade for the course

    2.  The non-cognitive behavioral factors we believe are important are:

No. We are "Encore" related arts and our grading system is set up differently (some O, S, N and some A, B, C, F, and our courses don't count toward cumulative GPA)
    Many of our classes are product/performance based. Due to the nature of the classes we teach, there is a lot of differentiation. An S has a large percentage gap. We don't grade based on talent which is common misconception.
    All aspects of academic and SEL go in to one grade.

The BASD's existing grading policy when examined in Health and Physical Education has these results.
    In regard to Criteria 1  our consensus is that it is not based on course standards. Criteria 2 is being met through a variety of performance categories.  Criteria 3 is not being met.  
    2.  Our group decided that these non-cognitive behaviors should be considered and ranked in this manner.

No. We all already know the answer to this though. We feel like this a loaded question. We do provide evidence for Criteria 2 but on the Portal not on the report card. 

    2. We feel like it is difficult to judge many of these "employability factors" because we aren't with these kids all day long. We only see them about 90 minutes per day.

Does BASD’s existing grading policies and practices uphold all three criteria? Explain with supporting evidence. 
    - We do meet Criteria 2 (from our gradebook categories) and Criteria 3 (because their letter grade reflects their academic achievement and is not related to their behavior, although comments can give insight on behavior), but Criteria 1 we do not meet because of students who are at varying levels of ability and the inability to assess students on grade-level standards because they are not at grade-level or are not at the same grade level as their classmates

    2. What noncognitive (behavioral) factors (i.e. participation, effort, work ethic, homework completion, attendance, etc.) would be most useful to BASD students and parents if reported separately from academic grades (i.e. tests, quizzes, projects, labs, etc.)? List no more than 5, and rank them in priority order with “1” given the highest priority.
    Critical Thinking/Problem Solving; Class Attendance/Participation; Self-Advocacy/Effort/Help seeking; Flexibility/Adaptability; Accountability
    -We had a lot of ideas and definitely need more time to narrow down a top 5
