I think the difficult thing with SBG is that the students are so used to traditional grading and they have to become more involved when a teacher implements SBG. It is easier for them to ask for extra credit than to prove their understanding of an essential standard or skill. It is a battle, but one that I find worth the fight.Kristen Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03517864993491472673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695345780932005017.post-24637861338724399462013-03-19T13:53:28.122-07:002013-03-19T13:53:28.122-07:00What if the key standards that we are teaching stu...What if the key standards that we are teaching students are non cognitive skills (like participation, timeliness, follow through, perseverance). By that I mean, the skills that will make our students successful in college and career are not the content standards, but instead the socialization to a system of commitments and deadlines. I agree we need to separate grades for content mastery from grades for non cognitive skills I disagree that we gain a lot by saying a grade is only based on content mastery. You could make the argument that SBG actually does a better job of teaching non-cognitive skills like perseverance (which I believe), however I think we need to recognize (and record in the transcript) that the perseverance we teach a kid who keeps trying to master the standard is actually the more beneficial learning objective than the standard they mastered.

I find my students do not utilize it well , dont remediate. three weeks after a quiz they say "i got a 0 (or 1) can i retake that?" and I tell them "yes, show me that you have done something to learn, lets discuss some practice problems..." and they dont do anythingpshircliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538375546930222218noreply@blogger.com
