So they still do standards-based grading in that each standard gets its own grade but it is measured with a percentage. Once they switched back to percentages and had to re-grade the work, they discovered that kids they thought were on a level 2.5 on a standard actually scored 50% which meant they were really a level 1 or 0. Big eye opener. I wish you all the best!<br /><br />-Lisa<br /><a href="http://mrsspanglerinthemiddle.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Mrs. Spangler in the Middle</a>Mrs. Spangler in the Middlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17137268748395471302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678514486069553970.post-82256052454835855592014-11-03T08:03:27.665-06:002014-11-03T08:03:27.665-06:00Thanks for sharing the video.

Always looking for new 4th grade teachers to follow:) We are in year 2 of ONLY 1-4 standards-based grading. I've shared a TPT product for free that you can check out that gives an idea of how I've made it work for me. Hope it helps! http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/McGraw-Hill-Wonders-4th-Grade-Plan-for-covering-all-RI-RL-and-L-by-Unit-5-1048540<br /><br />Mary<br /><a href="http://4thworks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">4th Works</a>Mary Dresselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13075041481724481705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678514486069553970.post-82208714149319406342014-11-02T14:23:16.821-06:002014-11-02T14:23:16.821-06:00Our district has talked about standards based grad...Our district has talked about standards based grading too!

Have you heard of it? I love the first fire of the season! We were just telling my daughter that if we were back in Seattle right now we'd be snuggled up in front of the fireplace. My team has a gradebook that works really well for us and we use a 1-4 system. Email me if you're interested in learning more. I'd be happy to share. Just hit the email button at the top of my blog. Enjoy that fire!<br />Joya<br />~LiveloveserveteachLiveloveserveteachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040710349983624692noreply@blogger.com
