[quote=Anonymous]Teacher here—The way APS has implemented standards based grading is confusing and ineffective. One problem is, since it’s many pages long, paper copies aren’t sent home and have to be accessed online. Teachers waste many hours writing narratives for each child that are unlikely to be read by the parents of the most at-risk students. I have experience in FCPS (teacher) and ACPS (parent), and both implement SBG in a way that can fit on one page (front/back), address the the umbrella standards rather than every individual standard, have 4 achievement levels rather than 3 (important in assessment), and are easier for parents to interpret. I’m glad I’m no longer at a school that uses APS’s version of SBG and hope my current school doesn’t move in that direction.[/quote]
