CH 4 Q4: The book lists what it believes should be considered when determining a summative grade, how is this similar or different from what you already do? What would you need to change to align with the books recommendations? #sbgERHS

Happy Independence Day! There will be no question for our #sbgerhs chat today.

The chapter #sbgerhs bookclub is currently reading is all about assessments! Here is an article from Marzano on formative assessments.

CH 4 Q3: The book states “From a SBG perspective, a grade is a snapshot of student performance on a particular standard, at a particular moment.”

What are the benefits of shifting how we frame and explain grades to this idea? What are the potential consequences? #sbgerhs

[ERHS Best at Getting Better @erhsBatGB]

As #sbgerhs bookclub continues to read and reflect on A Teacher's Guide to Standards Based Learning here is another article on whether or not grades are reliable. #sbgerhs

CH 4 Q2: How do you currently use obtrusive and unobtrusive assessments & what are some unobtrusive assessments strategies you use? How are the assessment practices from the book different from what you already do? #sbgerhs #erhsbatgb

As we spend the summer exploring grading practices we wanted to share some articles we have found interesting.

First up: Grades Versus Comments: What Does The Research Really Say? #sbgerhs

Don't worry @urfavmathtchr while it may seem overwhelming (and sometimes it is) part of the reason for #sbgerhs is to provide support and resources!

Very cool to see @thatmathclass recommending our #sbgerhs book to other teachers exploring grading practices!

@stacyyung I recommend "A Teacher's Guide to Standards-Based Learning" for that. I'm reading it for our school's summer bookclub (#sbgERHS) and it has useful resources/strategies for student-centered tracking of & reflecting on progress. :)

[ERHS Best at Getting Better @erhsBatGB]

What a great way to start the year! #sbgERHS

[Mrs. Young @urfavmathtchr]

@erhsBatGB Ch.3 A1: I give a presentation on setting goals the first week of school and have the students make 2 goals for themselves for the semester. Once the content starts flowing it's hard to remind them of these and hold them accountable.

[Mrs. Stapler @thatmathclass]

@erhsBatGB A3-4: I think this will be especially powerful when tracking progress is tied to action plans. If Ss see they did 👍 when they made flash cards, but not as well when they read over their notes, they can do some metacognitive reasoning & make themselves better learners. #sbgERHS

CH 3 Q5: What were your key takeaways this week from the reading? #sbgerhs #erhstweets #erhsbatgb

[ERHS Best at Getting Better @erhsBatGB]

CH 3 Q4: How could having students track their progress benefit student ownership of the learning? #sbgerhs #erhstweets #erhsbatgb

[ERHS Best at Getting Better @erhsBatGB]

CH 3 Q3: How does goal setting connect to students understanding the standards in an SBL classroom? #sbgERHS #erhstweets #erhsbatgb

[ERHS Best at Getting Better @erhsBatGB]

CH 3 Q2: How can we support our students in moving away from comparative oriented goals to mastery oriented goals? #sbgERHS #erhsbatgb #erhstweets

[ERHS Best at Getting Better @erhsBatGB]

Chapter 3 Q1: Chapter 3 focuses on Goal Setting for students in the classroom, what do you currently do to support goal setting for students in your classroom? #sbgERHS #erhsbatgb #erhstweets

[ERHS Best at Getting Better @erhsBatGB]

As we read Chapter 3 of The Teacher's Guide to SBL we will have a twitter slow chat all next week using the #sbgERHS hashtag.

You can get a preview of the questions for each day here: https://t.co/w6OWn9NZJ9

We'd love for you to join us! #erhsbatgb #erhstweets

[ERHS Best at Getting Better @erhsBatGB]

Awesome connections between what we are reading in our book and the changes we are making as a school. #sbgerhs

[Mrs. Stapler @thatmathclass]

@erhsBatGB A3) PLCs need to develop priority standards, then work together on RTI so all Ss achieve them. Office hours is a great opportunity to differentiate: enrichment for Ss working toward 4; extra practice for those at 3; and targeted remediation for those stuck at 2 & 1. #sbgERHS

[ERHS Best at Getting Better @erhsBatGB]

We are learning so much from the #sbgerhs book club!

Next week we’ll move to a slow chat on Twitter and post a question per day based on Chapter 3 of the book The Teachers Guide to Standards Based Grading.

There is still time to join us in the discussions! #erhsbatgb
