What is proficiency-based or standards-based grading?

• Standards-based grading is the evaluation of student performance against pre-established standards that have specified levels of proficiency. Well defined standards identify specific knowledge and skills. They should describe what a student should know and be able to do as a result of instruction and experiences in school.

• Proficiency levels describe how well a student is advancing towards meeting the standard.

• If a student is proficient for a standard this means they have met all the criteria for that standard at this point.

• Proficiency grading is part of a nationwide effort to help American children succeed as citizens and providers in a globally competitive environment.

• A proficiency-based or a standards-based learning system teaches and assesses student learning based on State/Common Core Standards.

• The goal of a standards-based system is to provide clear, effective feedback about student learning.

How the average of proficiency grades correlate to the letter-grade.Letter Grade Cut Score

(Average proficiency score, based on 1-4 scale)

A 3.41–4.0

B 2.81–3.4

C 2.21–2.8

F 2.2 and Below

Page 10: Understanding the New Eagle Point School District Grading and Reporting Policy.

Proficiency scores and GPAs are assessed on two different scales..

Letter Grade

Cut Score(Average proficiency score)

GPA Value

A 3.41–4.0 4.0

B 2.81–3.4 3.0

C 2.21–2.8 2.0

F 2.2 and Below 0

A proficiency cut score of a 3.41-4.0 would be an A, and this equates to a 4.0 value on the GPA scale.

A proficiency cut score of a 2.21-2.8 would be a C, and this equates to a 2.0 value on the GPA scale.

Questions

Page 13: Understanding the New Eagle Point School District Grading and Reporting Policy.

I understand how well my child has done when I see a letter grade. Numbers and letters are confusing.

• : Traditionally, a letter grade is an average of Traditionally, a letter grade is an average of total points earned per reporting

term.

This letter may include points for behaviors (turning in work on time, bringing/sharing supplies, attendance, etc.) that are not directly related to academic achievement.

In addition, in a traditional grading system, the grade is an average of the entire grading period rather than a representation of the growth of the student.

In a standards-based system, the student’s academic progress on specific over arching standards is reported, and this information is used to determine a grade.

• D9 On-line is a true credit by proficiency model.

• They have a variety of formative and summative assessments.
