Lewis and Clark High School
“If your grading system doesn't guide students toward excellence, it's time for something completely different.” Patricia L. ScriffinySlide2
What is a “standard?”
Standards are final learning goals or outcomes. Standards can be found in the “9-10 world history curriculum guide 2015-16” under my World History Page important documents that focus on National and State College and Career Readiness Standards.
In standards-based grading, students receive a grade for each standard or set of related standards. Slide3

Why Standards-Based Grading?
With standards based grading, grades on Assessments will reflect a student’s degree of mastery of a specific standard.
Teachers, parents, and students will be able to see exactly where students are excelling and where they may need additional help.Slide6
Why Standards-Based Grading?
Traditional grading can result in grades that are a combination of student behaviors and student performance.
Student #1:
always prepared
pays attention
completes all work
does extra credit
fails tests and quizzes
GRADE IN CLASS: B
Student #2:comes unprepared
incomplete assignmentsmissing assignmentstends to be off-task
earns “A”s on tests
GRADE IN CLASS: C
These students have “earned” grades that are not reflective of their levels of content mastery.Slide7
Let’s take a look at SBG,
style!Slide8
Angry Birds Standard:
Knock down the green pig using 3 or less angry birds.Slide9
Traditional Grading using Angry Birds
Each level is an assignment
Imagine if you could only play each level once and you were stuck with that score.
Traditional grading focuses on assessment of task rather than concept/standard mastery.Slide10
Standards-Based
using Angry Birds
Each level is a
standard
, not a task.
You are allowed to go back and play each level until you master it.
The focus is on
concept/standard masterySlide11
