, 1. How would you describe standards-based grading systems? - ANS 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? - ANS - Scores are reflected on
proficiency scales
- Grades reflect student mastery of a learning target.
-Teachers tailor instruction based on student achievement
K
Based on the percentage average of all grades or holistic grades - ANS traditional grading
system
C
Based on different proficiency levels of standards - ANS standard based grading system
Single grade given per course on report cards - ANS traditional grading system
LO
Grade based on most recent evidence - ANS traditional grading system
what are the defining characteristics of a standards-based grading system? - ANS
Standards-based grading is built around achievement level goals that are based on
YC
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.
D
Which explanation applies to the type of assessments used in a standards-based grading
system? - ANS Criterion-based assessments are used because students are measured
against a learning target (criterion) derived from an academic standard.
U
Which teacher approach would be most appropriate in a standards-based grading system?
A. The teacher notes that the student is proficient by marking a "3" on the four-point proficiency
ST
scale for the assessment, noting that not all fractions have unlike denominators.
B. The teacher notes that the student is not proficient by marking the assessment a "2" on the
four-point proficiency scale and provides support to the student to help her learn how to find
least common denominators.
C. The teacher encourages the student to complete an extra-credit assignment by making a
video about why math can be fun to offset the poor grade earned on the assessment.
D. The teacher scores the assessment and gives the student a grade of 34 percent and urges
the student to reread the chapter in the textbook about adding and subtracting fractions. - ANS
