Standards-based seems more challenging for teachers, but beneficial for high achieving students. But also this probably doesn't align with a transition back to traditional assessment in high school. ]]> 2021-05-02 15:16:40 UTC https://padlet.com/emilykhall08/f45voob2zru3w9uf/wish/1482573003 emilykhall08 https://padlet.com/emilykhall08/f45voob2zru3w9uf/wish/1482599948 Assessment affects both classroom and school culture. Zeros and punitive assessment foster a toxic culture that create compliance or worse: kids who "check-out".

Should we also use similar proficiency scales? What other schools in the network are standards-based? What is Rosslyn doing?

Our turnover rate also means that there always be a need for training if we want this to be effective. Is that possible? Do we have the right skills to train people?]]> 2021-05-02 16:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/emilykhall08/f45voob2zru3w9uf/wish/1482695503 emilykhall08 https://padlet.com/emilykhall08/f45voob2zru3w9uf/wish/1482766808 I use (95-85-75-65). I wonder if the transition to high school would be smoother if we used a 65-100 scale rather than 4.0 scale. The reason why I don't use 0-100 is because why would we give such a large margin of failure- 30 points of passing and 70 points to fail doesn't make sense. What's the difference between a 64, 44, 34, 24- they're all failing grades. If we do use the 4.0 scale, half-point scores looks complicated; albeit more precise. ]]> 2021-05-02 17:21:49 UTC https://padlet.com/emilykhall08/f45voob2zru3w9uf/wish/1482766808 emilykhall08 https://padlet.com/emilykhall08/f45voob2zru3w9uf/wish/1482782646 Instead of reinventing the wheel and spending a massive amount of time creating proficiency scales (although it would be beneficial for teachers to increase knowledge of curriculum) where can we find them on the internet?
