Which evidence do teachers use to evaluate student knowledge and
comprehension in a standards-based grading system? - ✔✔✔ Students demonstrate
a level of mastery related to a specific measurement topic.
How does a teacher know student performance is improving in a standards-
based grading system? - ✔✔✔ Students achieve higher proficiency levels.
What does scoring a level 2.0 on a standards-based proficiency scale indicate
about student learning when a level 3.0 is the target proficiency level? - ✔✔✔ The
student has yet to fully master the standard being assessed.
What distinguishes the assessments in a standards-based grading system from
those of a traditional grading system? - ✔✔✔ In traditional grading systems, the
number of possible points varies by assessment; in standards-based systems, the
proficiency scale remains the same, regardless of the assessment.
What distinguishes standards-based grading systems from standards-
referenced grading systems? - ✔✔✔ In standards-based grading systems, students
are to meet a defined level of proficiency for the standard; in standards-referenced
grading systems, the goal is for students to demonstrate proficiency of learning
outcomes based on specific standards.
(In standards-based grading systems, students demonstrate predefined levels
of mastery of specific standards, while in standards-referenced grading systems,
students demonstrate learning outcomes based on standards.)
What is one requirement of standards-based grading systems? - ✔✔✔
Adherence to common standards
How are standards-based grading systems different from norm-referenced
grading systems? - ✔✔✔ The production of descriptive feedback
, Which grading system focuses on converting demonstrated levels of mastery
to total points earned on a proficiency scale? - ✔✔✔ Standards-based grading
system
What is a teacher's primary focus in a standards-based grading system? -
✔✔✔ Measuring student learning related to the achievement of learning goals
Which advantage do standards-based grading systems have over traditional
grading systems? - ✔✔✔ One individual standard is assessed at a time, rather than
multiple standards.
What is one advantage of using a numerical score of 2.0 rather than a letter
grade of C or D to communicate a student's proficiency level to guardians? - ✔✔✔
Assigning a student a numerical proficiency level of 2.0 more clearly indicates the
student's need for additional practice to achieve proficiency.
What is a common criticism of standards-based grading - ✔✔✔ Assessment
results do not contain content outside of the stated standard.
What is the purpose of a focus statement for a standard? - ✔✔✔ To clarify
the standard for classroom assessments
How do measurement topics guide the assessment development process? -
✔✔✔ They help identify content and skills to be tested.
Which element is included in measurement topics? - ✔✔✔ Concepts
Which focus statement assesses declarative knowledge?
a. Understands the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate
b. Analyzes and documents the steps in the process of the citric acid cycle
c. Creates a presentation about proton gradients
d. Illustrates a mitochondrion - ✔✔✔ a. Understands the synthesis of
adenosine triphosphate
Which focus statement assesses declarative knowledge?
a. Utilizes paint colors to create a new color
b. Understands how certain colors are created
c. Explains the effects of mixing certain paint colors
d. Photographs a painting - ✔✔✔ b. Understands how certain colors are
created.
Which focus statement assesses procedural knowledge?
a. Demonstrates troop movements at the Battle of the Bulge
