![]() Since Susie’s first score is a 2, according to the conversion chart, I enter a grade of 70.įour days later Susie takes another formative assessment on 6G1. I then create an assignment for the summative category 6G1-Area. The assignment is “worth” 4 points and it is placed in the formative category with no weight. In the gradebook I create an assignment “6G1-Area 1”. Susie’s initial formative assessment for Standard 6G1 is a score of 2. The summative grade is determined by the students’ current level of mastery based on the most recent formative. The formative category allows me to keep a running record on how each student is progressing towards mastery. It is incidental to what I am trying to accomplish.) Practice: 5% (The practice piece is an FYI.All summative assessments are 100 points.All formative “assessments” are 4 points, based on the scale.I plan to set up a weighted gradebook as follows: If a teacher is “stuck” in a percentage based report card environment but wants to report standards based grades, Marzano offers a conversion chart: Scale Score The following idea isn’t pure SBG, but it’s the best workaround for now. The hurdle is “How do I report grades based on Marzano’s 4 point scale and not freak out the students and parents?” I have the formative and summative assessment pieces identified with the standards, I’ve created standards based student goal setting sheets (they can be found here), and I know how to score using the 4 point rubric. I’ve been reading blogs and Marzano’s work all summer so I think I know what I’m getting into. It appears my colleague from the other middle school and I will be the first in our district to implement it. It’s what I want to implement this year and yet I need to do this within the limitations of our district’s percentage based gradebook reporting system. But I really want to talk about something else. I could write about how I chose the name for my blog-I am extremely curious and I want my students to be too. ![]() I’m participating in the math blogging initiative and thankfully the list of writing prompts is not intimidating.
