Big Idea

What does Standards-Based Grading look like in the real world? Seeing how SBG is done in the workplace – for example, in the business world with regards to employee reviews – can give educators insights as to how to structure their own rubrics and standards. That is what we’ve done in our department: leveraged an SBG template used in the business world to shape our template in the classroom.

Episode Notes

Here are a couple of big ideas – on how I’ve taken standards-based grading from the workplace to the classroom – from this episode:

1. Combine similar, discrete standards under bigger, overarching themes. These themes can then be reported on instead of each individual standard.
2. Define overarching standards (ie. skills) with clear expectations of what students should be able to demonstrate.
3. If done clearly, comments can connect to the specific expectations a student is doing well in (and expectations they still need to improve on).
