[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pretty funny. SBG was designed to bring the top down and the bottom up. Looks like it works to me. What’s the problem?[/quote]

Exactly.  This is "equity," playing out in real time.  I hope all of you who voted for this are happy with yourselves?[/quote]

Standards based grading was designed to accurately reflect what students could do. Lots of students who got all A’s and B’s because they “played the game” well struggled on AP exams and in college because their high grades misled them on their actual abilities. There are a lot more average students out there than parents want to admit.[/quote]

And average teachers too!  SBG works when the teachers have buy in and do the work to make it work. I’m sure there are some good teachers at Herndon but more of them seem lacking the ability to pull this off. [/quote]

Pull what off? Genuinely curious. HHS teacher.[/quote]

SBG involves “unpacking” the standards and putting in the prep work to grade only summatives - which is a very different approach to teaching.

If you are a HHS Teacher, fill us in on your perspective of the school year. I’m genuinely curious what the teachers think. [/quote]
