Grades --- 70/30 by Shana Turner https://padlet.com/sturner17/4f85guwgowop Thoughts on 70/30 en-us 2017-10-30 00:17:00 UTC 2026-01-05 07:54:23 UTC hello@padlet.com Grades - 70/30 https://padlet.com/sturner17/4f85guwgowop/wish/201704972 2017-10-30 13:27:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/4f85guwgowop/wish/201704972 IT'S JUST WRONG https://padlet.com/sturner17/4f85guwgowop/wish/201705555 Too much emphasis put on the tests themselves. Students feel overwhelmed. There is only one way for the test, we spend all quarter long teaching different ways, working in small groups, etc. then the test comes around and it's done only this one way. "

Sometimes students don't do the classwork when they know it isn't worth as much as the assessments. But that being said the students not doing the classwork are probably not scoring well on the assessments .

When it is scored 70/30, it really hurts their grades. https://padlet.com/sturner17/4f85guwgowop/wish/201707078 2017-10-30 13:31:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/4f85guwgowop/wish/201707078 https://padlet.com/sturner17/4f85guwgowop/wish/201844757 Coming from a past district that did a 90/10 split, I don't have any issues. Doing it well is about making sure the 90% is assessing anything that a student has to demonstrate what they know--and you have to do that authentically. If it is a key standard that you would be willing to "fail" a student or "reteach" a student for not knowing it is in the 90%. The 10 is only for practice or minor things that aren't related to that, and those should never be a major part of a student's grade.]]> 2017-10-30 17:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/4f85guwgowop/wish/201844757 test anxiety is a very real thing for all ages of people. 70/30 shows no grace. ahensley2 https://padlet.com/sturner17/4f85guwgowop/wish/201845363 2017-10-30 17:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sturner17/4f85guwgowop/wish/201845363 https://padlet.com/sturner17/4f85guwgowop/wish/201845371 The issues we have with 70/30 is the validity of the assessments.  Are they bias? Do they take into account socioeconomic backgrounds when dealing with vocabulary when reading the assessments or understanding the questions? As the tests are written now no we don't agree with 70/30 split.
