1. .How .would .you .describe .standards-based .grading .systems? .- .CORRECT
.ANSWER-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? .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-
- .Scores .are .reflected .on .proficiency .scales
- .Grades .reflect .student .mastery .of .a .learning .target.
-Teachers .tailor .instruction .based .on .student .achievement
what .are .the .defining .characteristics .of .a .standards-based .grading .system? .-
.CORRECT .ANSWER-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 .finetuned
.to .the .needs .of .each .student .rather .than .only .a .portion .of .students .in .any
.given .classroom.
Which .explanation .applies .to .the .type .of .assessments .used .in .a
.standardsbased .grading .system? .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Criterion-based
.assessments .are
.used .because .students .are .measured .against .a .learning .target .(criterion)

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 .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. .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-B. .The .teacher .notes
.that .the .student .is .not .proficient .by .marking .the .assessment .a ."2" .on .the
.fourpoint .proficiency .scale .and .provides .support .to .the .student .to .help .her

With .a .clear .understanding .of .student .knowledge .and .next .steps .for .progress,
.this .stakeholder .is .empowered .to .support .the .student .in .attaining .goals .and
.gaining .confidence .through .encouragement .and .guidance. .- .CORRECT
.ANSWER-Stakeholder

Teacher
Knowing .their .expectations .and .level .of .proficiency .allows .this .stakeholder .to

.by .meeting .expectations, .and .persevere .through .challenges .by .continued
.effort. .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-Student
Stakeholders .need .letter .grades .to .understand .a .student's .academic
.performance. .True .of .false? .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-False
Which .teacher .response .would .help .the .parent .understand .standards-based
.grading .report .cards?

.standards .are .assessed .and .clarifying .the .grading .scale .that .is .used
C. .Provide .the .parent .with .a .percentage .and .letter .grade .equivalent .for .each
.subject .area .every .nine .weeks
D. .Explain .to .the .parent .that .if .their .child .has .the .highest .number .on .the
.grading .scale, .it .is .the .same .as .having .an .A .- .CORRECT .ANSWER-B. .Review
