What is Standards-Referenced grading and reporting?
Definition
Feedback
SRR is made up of marks on a scale from 1 to 4. Marks are not a comparison of one student to another, but rather a way to measure how well a student is understanding a Learning Target or Power Standard. This feedback reports student learning more accurately and to the degree to which students have attained mastery.
Standards-referenced reporting (SRR) and grading involves measuring students’ proficiency on well-defined course Learning Targets tied to Power Standards. SRR is a philosophy that uses reporting/grading to communicate students’ strengths and weaknesses relative to the standards of the course or class.Slide3
Scores are Based on What Students Know and are Able to Do
The standards-referenced reporting system divides academic criteria from non-academic criteria within the assessment and reporting practices.
Academic achievement which is an accurate evaluation of what a student knows and is able to demonstrate.
Non-academic indicators which describe the actions and behaviors that support achievement.
Students are measured on the development of skills and knowledge, what they know and can do, rather than their completion of tasks.
Students are provided multiple opportunities to meet the standards and are offered a variety of ways to demonstrate their learning.
Scores are based on individual achievement and not group scores.
Extra credit points are not given; a higher level of achievement directly tied to standards is expected.
Homework is regarded as practice and is not included in a student’s academic scores.Slide4
Non-Academic descriptors
Academic
Descriptors

Reporting out on Student Learning Attributes is determined by a rubric that identifies three levels:
3= On target demonstration of attribute
2= Student does not demonstrate learning attribute, but has a willingness to listen to feedback and make changes.
1=Student does not demonstrate learning attribute and is unwilling/unable to make changes according to feedback.
4
= Learning and performance exceeds the grade-level or course standards
3=Demonstrates mastery of grade-level or course standards independently; thoroughly; and accurately
2=Progressing toward mastery of grade-level or course standards (additional communication is provided in comments)
1=Limited understanding of required grade-level or course standards (additional communication is provided in comments)
IE=Insufficient evidence (additional communication is provided in comments)
NA=Not assessed
M=ModifiedSlide5
Principles to Think About…
Students learn in different ways.
Students learn in different time frames.
Mistakes are necessary and productive in learning.
Problem solving and critical thinking are integral parts of learning.
Students must have ownership in their learning and data.
Students must understand the purpose of their learning.Students receive frequent and specific feedback.Student scoring is based on knowledge of a learning goal, not attitude or effort.Slide6
The Bottom Line
We
want
to assess students on what they know and how they can use their knowledge and skills to become critical thinkers and life-long learners.
