What is Standards-Based Grading?
Standards-based grading is a method of assessment that focuses on students’ mastery of specific learning standards. Unlike traditional grading systems that often combine various factors into a single grade, SBG provides a more detailed and accurate picture of what students know and can do.
Key Benefits of SBG:
• Clarity and Transparency: Grades will reflect students’ understanding of specific skills and concepts, making it easier for students and parents to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
• Focused Feedback: Teachers will provide targeted feedback that helps students understand their progress and what they need to improve.
• Encourages Growth: SBG emphasizes learning and growth over time, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning journey.
How Will It Work?
• Learning Standards: Each subject will have clearly defined learning standards that students must master.
• Assessment: Students will be assessed on their proficiency in each standard. Assessments may include tests, projects, daily work, and diagnostics demonstrating mastery.
• Grading Scale: Instead of traditional letter grades, students will receive ratings that indicate their level of mastery, such as
o “Proficient” - The student is at or above grade level on the standard.
o “Basic” “- The student is at or slightly below grade level on the standard.
o “Below Basic”- The student is below grade level on the standard.
o “Not Tested”- The student has not been assessed on this standard during this grading period.
CPS believes that Standards-Based Grading will provide a more meaningful and accurate representation of your child’s learning and help them achieve their full potential. We are excited about this new approach and look forward to working together to support our students’ success.
