SBG: Organizing Data

One decision that you will need to make while implementing SBG is how you will organize your data.  The key is to find a system that works for you.  Taking a look at what other people have done may help you decide what you want to include in your own organization.  Take a look at some of these ideas that have been used in organizing SBG data.

Progress Tracking

Jessica from What I Have Learned blog created a template for keeping track of her students' progress toward standards.  Click on the picture below to check out her post.  Although her grade book template is available for purchase on TPT, you could easily adapt it to something that works for you.

Matt McNeece, fifth grade teacher at Summit Intermediate, adapted a form he found to keep track of student progress (see below). It includes an easy reference paragraph explaining the process standards.  He created a page for each of the 5th grade math standards and you can email him (mattmcneece@nixaschools.net) to a get a copy so that you can create one for your own grade!

Garrett Lowder, fourth grade at JTSD, created a form he could use all year.  Below is an example of his Excel form, which he uploaded to Google Drive.

Alison Vernon, JTSD third grade, created the Google form below.  Alison is in the process of updating her form to match the updated report cards, but shared her form so we could show many different ways to track your data.  Click on the picture below to see the entire form.

Beth Neathery, 3rd Grade at JTSD, shared the Google form Stephanie Williams created to track students' progress.  The form is color-coded making it easy to quickly determine how a student is progressing toward mastering a standard.  Click on the picture to download your own copy of the form.

Reassessment Request

A quick search in Google forms revealed a Reassessment Request Template.  The students had to complete the request in order to reassess.  The template included the following information:
*Which standard would you like to reassess?

*What misconception or mistake was there in your understanding?

*What did you do to help you understand the standard better?

*When would you like to reassess?

This request form puts the responsibility in the hands of the student.
