Grading with Purpose: Mastering Standards-Referenced Grading
Wouldn't it be a perfect world if student grades accurately represented what they know and can do, and not what they don't know or how well they guessed on a multiple choice test?
In an effort to reflect this idea as closely as possible, try using Standards Referenced Grading (SRG) methods to show what students know. Assignments will be graded based on their connection to the standards and students have multiple opportunities to demonstrate mastery of the standards aside from traditional tests.
This session will explain how teachers can use the SRG method of assessing student learning while fitting the practice into the traditional grading system utilized by most schools. SRG allows students to take ownership of their learning and how they demonstrate what they know as they build their confidence in the standards. Students will learn to take ownership of the learning process and how they demonstrate their understanding. In this course participants will create an SRG leveled rubric, lesson plans and final unit assessments that can be used in their classroom.
