Standards-Based Grading with the Common Core State Standards

• DEFINITION: “Grades are feedback to the learner on the degree to which he/she has the knowledge in standards (benchmarks, indicators, learning goals…etc.) at a particular point in time.”

Dr. Robert J. Marzano & Dr. Tammy Heflebowerhttp://www.ywp.esd112.org/assets/articles/docs/WA_ESD_May_2010.pdf

Standards-Based Grading

Determining Marks for Trimester Grades • Some assignments will be graded and some will not

• First attempts and beginning practice should be corrected but no mark given

• Only after a concept/skill has been taught and practiced should grades be kept in a grade book

• Multiple opportunities should be given for each student to master a standard• 3-5 pieces of successful, recent evidence should be collected

to determine final reporting grades (i.e. evidence of student learning through daily work, observations, quizzes, tests, and projects)

• Student should be able to consistently show proficiency• If the student is all over the place with marks-- teachers ask

themselves---does this student consistently demonstrate mastery?
