1. How would you describe standards-based grading systems? -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ A standard of grading that tracks student
progress towards and achievement of learning targets that are derived
from educational standards; grades reflect student mastery of the
learning targets and are measured on proficiency scales.
Which characteristics apply to standards-based grading? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ - Scores are reflected on proficiency scales -
Grades reflect student mastery of a learning target.
-Teachers tailor instruction based on student achievement
Based on the percentage average of all grades or holistic grades -
ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ traditional grading system
Based on different proficiency levels of standards - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ standard based grading system
,Single grade given per course on report cards - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ traditional grading system
what are the defining characteristics of a standards-based grading
system? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ Standards-based grading is built
around achievement level goals that are based on content-specific
benchmarks within academic subjects. A standards-based approach
differs from traditional approaches that are built around an average
percentage of assignments, letter grades, or students' rank of
performance against the rest of the class. A standards-based system is
highly beneficial to the student because teaching and learning can be
fine-tuned to the needs of each student rather than only a portion of
students in any given classroom.
Unequivocal knowledge of instructional needs and useful interventions
for each student will guide this stakeholder's future instruction. -
