This week we talked about standard based grading and no grade classrooms. I am a big fan of standard based grading. I follow a couple of Tik Tok creators that do standard based grading. I know that I will need to take the time to write the standards in student friendly language. I really prefer standard based grading for math. I think it will help students know what they need to work on and not have to guess at what things they need to work on. I often got/get tests back and wonder where I went wrong and if it was the same thing on every problem, it would have been very helpful to know exactly what I needed to work on to get a better score. It will also help encourage students to keep working toward mastery if they know what to work on to improve their grade. I also feel that it will help them to enjoy math a little more. It is easier to like a subject when you feel like you can get better at it and do well, I feel that standard-based grading lends itself to this and will be better for the students and also help me to differentiate teaching based on what students need to work on. I am excited to utilize standard-based grading in my classroom.
