CCSD Standards Based Learning Update June 2017

CCSD’s Transition to Standards Based Learning & Grading From point/percentage to standards/proficiency Focusing instruction/communication on standards Work habits reported separately More weight to most recent work, multiple attempts CCSD’s Transition to Standards Based Learning & Grading Sue - 6:38-6:45

Two Step Process for Grades TRADITIONAL 2 STEP PROCESS GRADING BINS: Tests, Daily Work, Projects, Papers, Finals Each bin is an average of all scores (assignments) in that bin Each bin has a separate percentage weight (ie: 40% Tests/Quizzes; 20% projects; 20% labs; 20% Final) 2) Each bin’s composite letter grade and weight contributed to the letter grade at the end of the course STANDARDS BASED 2 STEP PROCESS GRADING BINS: Standards Each bin has pieces of evidence, which put more weight on the most recent score: Weighted Trend Each bin has a composite Proficiency Grade: E, M, APP, BG Computation to Letter Grade Standards Proficiency Marks for each standard contribute to the overall letter grade

Certifying Letter Grades with Evidence

Second Semester Grade Comparison Spring 2016 to 2017

Notes for 2017-18: Continue to have traditional letter grades on transcripts: A, B, C, D, F Students can re-assess on standards to improve proficiency All courses will be in the SB gradebook in the HS except a few AP courses and dual credit courses With NGSS Science Standards, the proficiency estimates have to be determined through 3 Dimensional Instruction: Content, Cross Cutting Concepts and Science and Engineering Practices--they will pilot a “mode” calculation between those 3 Dimensions (child to parent standards). This is also true for World Language Competencies. Letter grade determination will remain the same. This may be an avenue for elementary in the future.

Standards Based Learning Task Force Determined common language for “Employability/Professionalism/Universal Constructs” K-12: Habits of Success Work for 2017-18: Unpack each of the areas under “Habits of Success” (Critical Thinking, Problem Solving, etc) and determine what those look like at each grade level/grade level span. Goal: Have common reporting language K-12 for Fall of 2018 SBL Task Force may “morph” into a Personalized Learning Team overtime
