I feel like a broken record since so many others have mentioned standards based grading, but that has been our district wide push this year, and I have enjoyed it. It has created more work for me as I find I am letting kids retake exams and redo papers more than I have in the past, but I like the mastery that comes from it!

Yes, we use IC so when a student retakes an exam, for example, I just override the older grade with the newer one!

Do you enter in a grade for each specific standard? For example, if the exam covers 6 standards, do the students receive 6 different grades?

One method of assessment that I use within my classroom is the “gallery walk.” I incorporate movie/TV quotes or song lyrics and hang them on the walls. Students then have time to circle the room and study each quote. Depending on the unit, students must recognize grammar mistakes or any literary devices. It is great for engaging the stu…Read More

If students can recognize good work and find errors to make it great, then how much better will they be at producing great work themselves. I love the idea of using a gallery walk to do this.

The best thing that I use to assess my students includes numerous Google Apps for Education. I use Google Classroom as my home for the students to get their work. Slides,…Read More

Wow!
Has 1 to 1 capability helped in your ability to use formative assessment?-
Yes! Students can collaborate and share many assignments, I can use technology to administer exit tickets, and 1 to 1 gives way to creative presentation opportunities. Socratic.com is great for quick class feedback for bell ringers and exit tickets.

Great! Hope opportunities like this will continue to grow.

This is great! I have recently been having my students do their notes in google slides and they love it! And they will always have them in their Google Drive! No more “lost” notes.

Were you trained on Google classroom or did you just start playing around on it to figure out all of the different capabilities it offers? I would love to attend a training on how to use google classroom in a math classroom. I’m especially interested in how students would show their work.

We have also been attempting to make the move to standards-based grading. Through this process, we do reteaching and retesting. One of the strategies that I’ve found to be helpful is allowing students to do test corrections on the first test. Students don’t get the same test when they retest. After the tests are graded, they are returned, and…Read More

Mastery learning for sure! A lot of work, but I know you see more learning. Does Infinite Campus allow you to set-up a standards based grading book?

Like Mr. Arnett’s post, our entire school has been focused this year on standards-based grading and assessment. One of the biggest changes in our building this year has been the implementation of “learning checks,” or formative assessments on a weekly basis that check for mastery of specific standards. We use Google Forms via Google Classroom to…Read More

Fantastic!! Would love to see some screenshot examples of this for others to see. If not in our thread here, please share in one of the news stories you will be sending.

I am familiarizing myself with Google now. So many useful data collection tools. We are using some of these tools to streamline data collection, school wide.

Can’t beat it. Available to all and full of capability. Please share as you continue to learn more.

A lot of work, but like you say a lot of pay off no doubt. Are you entering grades in Infinite Campus differently 1,2,3,4… versus 0-100? If so, does Infinite Campus allow you to alter the grade book to accommodate for this?
