What’s Trending?

Consider a runner who just received a gold medal in the 100-meter dash. How did the runner become so good at racing that he was found worthy of representing his country in the Olympics? He ran the event hundreds or even thousands of times prior to the Olympic race. Each time he ran it, his time was not an aggregated compilation of all of his bad times woven together with his successful times. Can you imagine telling a runner that all earlier race times would be averaged with his Olympic time, and that this average will determine his medal status for the Olympics?

What goes on the Letter Grade Report?

In addition to receiving SBRC indicator scores, each student in grades 3-5 will receive a letter grade in math, reading, science, social studies, and writing. Although averaging is not best practice when assigning the quarterly SBRC indicator score (as explained above), averaging is a viable option when converting SBRC indicator scores to a letter grade in grades 3-5.

Average all of the student’s final quarterly SBRC indicator scores and then convert to an overall reading letter grade. The student’s average was 3.0833 (2.5 + 3.0 + 3.5 + 3.5 + 3.0 + 3.0 = 18.5 ÷ 6 = 3.0833). Since 3.0833 is between 3.0 and 4.0, the student’s overall reading grade for the second quarter is an A.

Scenario #1: The SBRC Indicator is Taught and Assessed in One Quarter (TG p.16)

The teacher will score this indicator in the quarter that it is taught and assessed. Let’s assume that the teacher does this in the third quarter. All other quarters will contain an NE for this skill.

Scenario #2: The SBRC indicator is Taught and Assessed in All Quarters (Example 1)

(TG p.16)

When an indicator is taught and assessed all year long, but reported quarterly, the teacher can communicate the concepts and skills taught each quarter using the drop-down comment box.

Scenario #3: The SBRC indicator is Taught and Assessed in All Quarters (Example 2)

(TG p. 17)

Here is one possible scenario in kindergarten math using an SBRC indicator that teachers can benchmark by quarter if they are teaching it all year and do not expect mastery until the fourth quarter.

Kindergarten SBRC Indicator: Counts by ones to 100. The benchmarks are Q1-25, Q2-50, Q3-75; Q4-100

Scenario 4: A Student is Performing Above or Below Grade Level on some SBRC Indicators

(TG p.18)

The teacher utilizes the drop-down comment box in Infinite Campus (IC) to communicate this to the parent.

Scenario 5: Determining a Letter Grade for Math when a Student is working on some Math SBRC Indicators at Grade

Level and other Math Skills Below Grade Level (TG P. 18)

The process for determining the letter grade for the exceptional learner is the same as the process for a child performing solely on grade level.

For this particular exceptional learner, he is performing at the 4 th grade level on the first three indicators and is below grade level on the other two. The end of quarter scores are highlighted below.

In the example above, the quarterly indicator scores for each SBRC indicator within math are as follows:

Average all of the student’s final quarterly SBRC indicator scores and then convert to an overall math letter grade. The student’s average was 13.5 (3.0 + 2.5 + 2.0 + 3.0 + 3.0 = 13.5 ÷ 5 = 2.7). Refer to the conversion table below. Since 2.7 is between 2.5 and 2.99, the student’s overall reading grade for the third quarter is a B.

Remember to let the parent know in the comment box that the letter grade is based on the child’s modified curriculum

2.0/P 3.0/M 3.0/M 3.0/M** 2.5/P**

Parting Thoughts

This is journey, it’s ok………Standards-based grading compares the

student to the standards and not to other students
