- How many assessments per standard per week is too many? ...too few?
- How many assessments per standard per unit (up to and including the test) would be appropriate?
- Should I include a standard for timeliness of submission of work?
- What about conjunctive grading? Should I require no grades below 2 (out of 4) for an A for the term, so that students don't blow off standards?
- In general, is there a good way to assure that standards aren't over- or under-weighted in the final grade?

Open Questions
Some open questions that I have about how I'll implement SBG:

I'd think each student needs several grades each week but not all standards need to be addressed on a weekly basis. The problem I have with a 2 knocking you out of a possible A is that anyone with a 2 now would be out. Knowing the A is impossible might encourage students to shoot only for the B.
ReplyDeleteI agree about having several grades each week, but not nec. each standard. That's pretty much what I'm doing now.
ReplyDeleteThe great thing about SBG is that no 1/4 (or 4/4, for that matter) is permanent. If you screw up motion graphs on the motion graphs test, then you can reassess individually, too. That's what I mean about not letting them blow off the standard - they _have_ to fix it if they want A's.
