[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By Definition, standards base grading means that only summative assessments are graded. So whatever Madison’s calling it or not calling it it’s definitely not standards based Grading. The 70/30 (summative/formative) is uniform in FCPS now.

The jmhs principal ends by saying not much changed, but it’s big changes- including allowing retakes for prior assessments. [/quote]

She said that students will continue to be afforded opportunities on reassessments on skills throughout the school year - that sounds like skilled based grading and if it’s not she should just say it’s over [/quote]

No, she didn’t. She said under reassessments, retakes are allowed up to 100% AND that includes retake attempts from prior quarters for rolling grade book schools. Reassessment meals retake here.[/quote]

I think this sounds like the current policy where a reassessment of a skill (ie data analysis) can happen in q3 for a grade in q1. This doesn’t really meet the spirit of a retake, but I worry will be allowed if skills based grading continues. [/quote]
