It is, however, the $20M question...so if you figure out the best answer (as there is no "right" one), you'll be able to retire with it. :)<br /><br />My answer is <a href="http://blog.whatitslikeontheinside.com/2007/11/anecdotally-speaking.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Basically, each student and I sat down together and figured out what to put on the report card. I understand that this approach doesn't work well in a time where parents can log in and watch student grades like a stock market report. And yes, it's a squishy way to do things...but oddly enough, students always said they knew why had a particular grade in my class vs. their other classes where there was calculation involved. <br /><br />Other teachers have other systems and answers for number crunching. I recommend taking a look at what <a href="http://alwaysformative.blogspot.com/p/standards-based-grading-implementation.html" rel="nofollow">Jason Buell</a> and <a href="https://fnoschese.wordpress.com/category/standards-based-grading-2/" rel="nofollow">Frank Noschese</a> have to offer.The Science Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02846516022505481326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9092970177046142644.post-64233466778786716502017-08-29T17:37:34.497-07:002017-08-29T17:37:34.497-07:00I realize this is probably the dumbest question ev...I realize this is probably the dumbest question ever, and I've been looking through your posts trying to find the answer. How do you go about representing the data in your 4 point system as a traditional percentage? I hate traditional grades, but unfortunately my district hasn't moved forward in this regard. I still have one spot on the gradecard where I am supposed to cram all of my data with a (seemingly) arbitrary letter grade. How do you tackle this issue using the data presented in a 4 point system?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9092970177046142644.post-35746086153712572122013-11-27T02:18:21.224-08:002013-11-27T02:18:21.224-08:00A big applause from my side too :)
