Help me grow! by Anne Nichols https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo What I need to get better (from colleagues, administration, and/or training) en-us 2018-01-04 02:44:54 UTC 2018-01-17 19:41:05 UTC hello@padlet.com Since all of the Freshmen core classes are doing SBG, I think it would be helpful for us to meet together and see how we are each implementing it and look for commonalities- it is confusing for kids to have different policies in different classes doing the "same" thing. https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221551495 2018-01-15 23:37:22 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221551495 More guidance on the grading options in IC for overall course grade computation. https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221551600 2018-01-15 23:38:55 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221551600 Time to meet with teachers from different departments who teach similar grades. We need to know how others are using & conveying SBG principles. This will help with climate as we transition further into SBG. https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221685452 2018-01-16 13:25:37 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221685452 Need time for EEN/at-risk staff to collaborate with departments so we can do a better job of supporting skills-based learning (now it's more than just having kids make up a worksheet) pliskaw https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221692881 2018-01-16 13:43:18 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221692881 Common use of IC for each class and grade book set up. https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221777411 Allowing cross department conversations to discuss IC set-up and structure of their curriculum to see how it differs from what we are doing in the math classroom.

From gradebooks to formative and informative assessments. Just when I think I understand it, I realize I don't. https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221865543 2018-01-16 19:51:47 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221865543 https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221884070 It would be helpful to see the rubrics and assignments for larger projects. Knowing what they are expecting for students would help us support them more productively.  ]]> 2018-01-16 20:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221884070 Homework/Practice https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221885116 It would be helpful to better understand this for all classes. Many students say they have no work. This is making ASR and study hall less productive than it might otherwise be. ]]> 2018-01-16 20:48:43 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/221885116 SBG and IEPs https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222091253 What does Standards Based Grading look like on a student with an IEP, having significant accommodations/modifications or on a student who is in the general ed. setting for at or less than 50% of the school day or on a student who is out frequently due to medical needs?]]> 2018-01-17 15:10:25 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222091253 https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222094477 A better way to collect enough evidence without drowning in the grading and giving feedback to students.]]> 2018-01-17 15:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222094477 Understanding the grade book would be most helpful. https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222096276 2018-01-17 15:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222096276 IEPs and Growth https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222097066 I would like to learn how to show growth for someone who has an IEP. ]]> 2018-01-17 15:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222097066 Collaboration and Efficiency https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222133970 Time to discuss, compare, and share how SBG is being approached and implemented in the school so we can start moving in the same direction and fine-tuning the pedigogy.

We are not doing standards based the same way in all departments and the students are aware of the inconsistencies. For example, they might hate how one department is doing standards based, but might be fine with how another department is doing standards based. What are the differences among those departments? Similarities? Etc. https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222141894 2018-01-17 17:05:20 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222141894 We need to work as a school to define what a 4 means. It seems that in some classes it is easy to earn a 4 whereas other classes it is challenging. This is unfair to the students. https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222168091 2018-01-17 18:03:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222168091 Grading is killing me. https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222168728 I would like to learn how to write better assessments that don't require students to write a novel to answer the question to show that they are at a 4.]]> 2018-01-17 18:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222168728 I would like to understand how different departments are categorizing SBG in the gradebook - at times there seems to be nothing there to indicate student growth while another teacher may have many categories and they seem redundant... https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222170625 2018-01-17 18:09:24 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222170625 Grading and Reassessment https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222187193 The constant grading is exhausting. Students are reassessing multiple times while they are not completing homework or in class tasks. Having a school wide expectation would be most helpful. IC is not conducive for SBG. It causes more problems then is helps.]]> 2018-01-17 18:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222187193 What are the positive changes from Standards Based Grading compared to the traditional points system? I feel there is more confusion with so much ambiguity by using SBG. https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222209672 Also, I believe the retake policy in this school has caused an atmosphere of mediocrity, because some students are not feared if they do poorly on an assessment. They rely mostly on "just doing a retake."]]> 2018-01-17 19:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/nichola/u0zuq7pc39bo/wish/222209672
