Matt McNeece, 5th grade, Summit, adapted something he found to fit his math needs over the summer. He describes it as something that just makes sense to him. PERFECT! That's why there isn't just one right way to record the data you collect. You have to find a system that is just right for YOU! That may mean looking through lots of examples and tweaking something that is already out there, or combining your favorite aspects of a few different record keeping ideas. Either way, Matt has shared his find with us! YAY! :-) He created one of these pages for each standard, so if you teach fifth grade and you're in love with this organization, you're in luck. I know he'll share it with you. Otherwise, you can download the example and tweak it to fit your grade level or subject area.
Aimee Tinsley, 4th grade, Summit, shared her real-world application for introducing standards-based grading to her students. Aimee started with a stoplight visual. They practiced using the 3-2-1 with things like "How well do you ride your bike?" and "How would you feel about reading in Chinese?" and then moved to classroom examples such as "How are you feeling about your multiplication right now?". What a fantastic way to get students used to using 3-2-1 and reflecting about their learning!
Meredith Carrisalez, 5th grade, Summit divides her reading and writing skills by genre. She prints a sheet for each student and keeps it in her binder. While conferencing, Meredith takes notes on address labels and then attaches them to the back of their individual sheet.
Shelly Newton and Layne Eckhardt, 5th grade, Summit, have students check their own progress using this chart outlining the standards-based 3-2-1 scale. Giving students the chance to reflect on their own progress is crucial!
Carey Davis, 2nd grade, Mathews, is using this form to track SBG. It has the skills divided using the Power Standards at the top and more specific standards underneath. Thanks for sharing, Carey!
Thanks to everyone for SHARING the LOVE this week! Don't forget to share your ideas with us, too!
