[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what is it?[/quote] NP. It is a form of “equity grading.”[/quote] Instead of regular tests, they are given skills tests that are graded off a rubric, not proficient, proficient, more than proficient, mastery etc. They will take the most recent grade of a "skill". I think it is meant to try to get kids to bring up their grade by retaking certain skills but we have experienced that it actually can lower your grade and also they are so focused on the skill part that learning the actual content is overlooked. I hope that all FCPS high schools use the same grading methodologies and this skills based grading approach goes away. [/quote]
