Big Idea

Those who support using points (as opposed to proficiency scales) to report student learning always seem to argue that using points is a more accurate. However, this isn’t completely true. Unfortunately, points may give a result, but may not offer clear guidance as to what went wrong or right.

Episode Notes

Here are a couple of big ideas from the video:

1. Reporting on student learning is not just reporting what has been achieved – but also, what areas can student work on to improve. 

2. Standards Based Grading tells a more complete story because – on a good rubric – students are told where their performance sits right now and how students can also see what they can do to get to the next level.
