Buy in from all the stakeholders.

It would define what "grades" actually mean for teachers, parents, and students.

2024-01-24 19:31:19 UTC

common language for all including parents.

2024-01-24 19:31:25 UTC

It would add consistency to our grading/expectations within and across grade levels.

2024-01-24 19:31:26 UTC

2024-01-24 19:31:30 UTC

Grading is more transparent and provides a better outlook on the students' abilities

It would be clear to parents and students what they learned and achieved in class.

2024-01-24 19:31:37 UTC

Students are being measured on how well they know they content

2024-01-24 19:31:39 UTC

Consistency with grading and expectations

2024-01-24 19:31:44 UTC

Students would see the value in what we do rather than doing something just for the sake of doing it because the teacher said so.

2024-01-24 19:31:45 UTC

It could get cumbersome to report on all standards.

2024-01-24 19:31:50 UTC

Consistent and Clear/Transparent

2024-01-24 19:32:02 UTC

Would give parents and students more specifics on what they know. What they need to work on.

2024-01-24 19:32:05 UTC

Transitioning away from grades mindset.

2024-01-24 19:32:15 UTC

Labeling the performance tasks with the standard and keeping track for reporting purposes.

2024-01-24 19:32:17 UTC

Explaining to parents exactly how standards based grading works.

2024-01-24 19:32:27 UTC

Would we report on all standards or just priority standards?

2024-01-24 19:32:30 UTC

Change is often met with resistance.

2024-01-24 19:32:38 UTC

It would help us define what students need to know by the end of the year.

2024-01-24 19:32:43 UTC

How can you successfully bridge the gap for students as they transition from LV to DGS (back to letter grades)?

2024-01-24 19:32:47 UTC

It may be a lot more work for teachers come report card time. Parents might have many questions.

2024-01-24 19:32:53 UTC

Parents still want a number or letter grade. Some schools use a combination of both.

2024-01-24 19:32:58 UTC

Parent communication and making sure grading system is understood.

2024-01-24 19:33:04 UTC

Understanding from parents

2024-01-24 19:33:08 UTC

Everyone needs to agree to this new system.

2024-01-24 19:33:09 UTC

2024-01-24 19:33:16 UTC

parents being more concerned about the number/grade letter rather than their student's understanding

Parents might not understand it.

2024-01-24 19:33:25 UTC

How the standards will transfer to the next grade level? Will they grow on each other? Will a student who is showing 4th grade skills receive a 4 in a specific standard if they excel in 3rd grade standards? Or will each grade level be entirely separate?

2024-01-24 19:33:29 UTC

This would be a big shift from our current reality and how do we get all stakeholders to understand how important it is?

2024-01-24 19:33:37 UTC

2024-01-24 19:34:01 UTC

how this will affect our students transition to DGS

getting it up and running! :)

2024-01-24 19:34:09 UTC

Each teacher grading based on their own thoughts/expectations of the standards, instead of being on the same page.

2024-01-24 19:34:13 UTC

How will it work if a student doesn't meet a standard by the end of that school year? Does it carry onto the next grade level?

2024-01-24 19:34:25 UTC

What does this look like for students in classes that don't have clearly defined standards to follow?

2024-01-24 19:34:30 UTC

Do we report on all the standards? Some grades have more standards than others.

2024-01-24 19:34:36 UTC

Students will be held accountable for their growth.. they would better understand what skills they need in order to succeed.

2024-01-24 19:35:03 UTC

high schools, colleges and universities using?

2024-01-24 19:37:38 UTC

How do you assess the students? Do the assessments have questions that target the standards or are there more assessments to give to cover all of the standards?
