[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually prefer standards-based grading because it gives more targeted information and feedback. Our current school does traditional letter grades and our former school did standards-based. [/quote]

What I’ve read is that most SBG policies have “exceeds expectations,” but not APS. And all the comments at our school are largely a copy and paste job. I’d be fine w SBG if it had exceed expectations but middle school should have traditional A, B, C, D, F.

APS middle schools do have traditional letter grades. [/quote]

Gunston has SBG and the idea is to roll it out to other schools. [/quote]

Gunston report cards have letter grades[/quote]

The APS version of SBG is providing no quantitative feedback  during the quarter and then producing a grade at the end of the marking period.  And no deadlines, so teachers have to take endless late work and write as many tests as students want for remakes.

I would probably be considered an "equity warrior on AEM," but this is garbage[/quote]

I’m getting tired of “equity”.   How about focusing on closing the achievement gap, and making sure nobody falls behind by staying on top of them instead of giving out fake “A”s?[/quote]
