Be Specific

based off learning specific skills and concepts, instead of broad over arching ideas

Standards and the process to understand is on p.13 and 14.

It can involve teaching students how to sharpen their metacognition skills as they relate to specific content standards (what do I know and need to know to meet the standard?)

"The classroom culture changes as learners target their questions, understand and communicate their learning, etc." - see pg. 15

"...mak[ing] proficiency against standards ... the priority outcome." pg. 9

"brings profile and attention to the characteristics that can otherwise be buried or marginalized in a system where all reporting is reduced to a singular symbol" (p. 10)

SBL is NOT a single grade for a potpourri of academic and non academic factors - PAGE 18

Knowledge Vs Behavior

2023-11-08 23:16:02 UTC

Standards based learning can also include standards for behavior, while the grading is based off their knowledge not behavior

2023-11-08 23:16:29 UTC

An approach to grade students using standards and benchmarks as a guide to plan for the learning that we want students to accomplish. Students learn by doing using metacognition p.3

Shifting the focus

2023-11-08 23:16:33 UTC

shift the focus from grades to understanding

To focus the teaching and learning on essential skills/content knowledge

2023-11-08 23:17:08 UTC

Making sure that the assigned work is important (p. 25) "Be mindful about what you assign and how it will benefit student learning. "

2023-11-08 23:18:01 UTC

2023-11-08 23:18:06 UTC

Standards based learning is how the students master the standard. Standards based grading is a communication tool for students and parents. It communicates what the student has mastered.

2023-11-08 23:18:24 UTC

Students have a clear picture of the purpose of the learning tasks p. 10

Shift from assessment to understanding...p.10

The section discusses the thinking/talking shift required for standards-based learning. I found it interesting to think about current practice and possible changes.

Backwards Design

2023-11-29 22:07:27 UTC

With standards based grading the goal is for students to show proficiency in meeting state standards. According to the book (ch. 1), this starts with knowing where you want students to go and planning accordingly end to beginning.

Equity

2023-11-29 22:08:33 UTC

Standards based grading is supposed to take the subjectivity out of grading. Graded solely on meeting the standard, not behavior, work completion, participation etc...

"Communicate the standards, their learning targets, and what success looks like." p.25

Intententional sequencing of Assessements

2023-11-29 22:11:14 UTC

Opportunities for learners to obtain skills and knowledge of content and educators to provide feedback and reteach.

Rigor

2023-11-29 22:12:03 UTC

It raises the bar to higher order thinking and mastery.

2023-11-29 22:14:19 UTC

Standards based learning (to my understanding) is the process of students mastering a content standard, while as sbg is the evaluation of that student's mastery.
