The kids seem to love it, and I think they are learning more. They are definitely happier and calmer. One of my honors kids remarked the other day, "the stress level in this class is so low." That's AMAZING in honors physics, right?Kelly O'Sheahttp://kellyoshea.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550984149903805046.post-3522476036281376552011-03-03T07:42:03.268-05:002011-03-03T07:42:03.268-05:00Cool post - I like the "core skills" ide...Cool post - I like the "core skills" idea. I'm still navigating my first year of SBG, and I tried to make it as easy as possible for the students/parents to understand. This is an interesting tweak to think about for next year, though!Tatnall Physicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09436753600662471697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550984149903805046.post-54882129330611880002011-03-02T21:58:00.679-05:002011-03-02T21:58:00.679-05:00Neat!

This sounds somewhat similar to what I tried this year (I wrote about it here: http://kellyoshea.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/sbg-semester-exams/) in my physics classes at St. Andrew's. It was/is so tough trying to fit a 100 point scale onto the measurements that I took with standards-based grading. Good luck with your exams!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
