[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another problem that SBG has introduced is replacing grades from practice to assessment and then [b]changing past assessment grades.[/b] Many kids and parents have no idea what their grade is from week to week because it keeps changing. It's too hard to follow. They also may or may not get feedback on their practice work or even their assessment because each assessment has multiple grades that are hard to follow. It's a highly inaccurate grading system to follow and is meant to be inaccurate to create equity of all kids having similar grades. [/quote]

This is not fully correct. A subsequent summative assessment can replace only the immediately preceding summative assessment if it is a higher grade.

Example:

Assessment 1: c

Assessment 2: b

Assessment 3: b

All are b’s (since 2 was higher than 1) and are averaged to a b.

Example:

Assessment 1: c

Assessment 2: c

Assessment 3: b

Assessment 2 becomes a b since assessment 3 was higher. The first c remains.

Average is lower than a b.
