[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I much prefer SBG in elementary school as both a teacher and a parent. It is standard procedure in many countries and I have direct experience with it. When done properly it actually gives much more targeted feedback than the typical letter/number based systems, and is very easy to determine if a child is exceeding expectations. That said, I would not use it in MS or HS. [/quote] How can you tell if a child is exceeding expectations? They only gets a "Meets" after a subject is introduced and tested, even if the kid knew the topic at the beginning of the year. There is no "Exceeds" nor any opportunity to demonstrate knowledge of standards in the next grade up. Basically you only get feedback whether your child is meeting the absolute minimum standards and no feedback whether they're turning in work or doing the assignments. [/quote] And, as we discovered when we asked about an area where our kid received "Approaching Mastery," they list all of the standards for the year and evaluate even if they haven't reached that point in the school year. I don't know if that's done to make it appear that there's progress? We asked about a specific area where our kid got "approaching" and were told that all kids received "approaching" because that hadn't started that unit yet. It seemed disingenuous at best.[/quote] Yes, this. It is nonsense. [/quote]
