The program is set to roll out gradually over the coming years, in an attempt to make grades more accurately match students\u2019 understanding.<\/p>\n<p>According to Principal Dr. Wendy Stratton, the new evidence-based grading system will be based on that of Adlai Stevenson High School in Illinois, which focuses on students\u2019 ability to improve skills over time. In the new four-point grading system, a student\u2019s teacher determines a final course grade by reviewing the student\u2019s assessments and considering any clear patterns of growth. Getting a score of four means that a student has exceeded mastery. Three is mastery, two is approaching mastery and one is having a fundamental understanding.<\/p>\n<div class='pullquote sno-pullquote-6649c8bcebcac sno-animate pullquote-shadow'>\n        <div class=\"quotebar\">\n\t    <div class='largequote'>&ldquo;<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"quotebody\">\n                        <p class='pullquotetext'>One of the big things with evidence-based grading and teaching is the focus on helping to develop student agency and spending time developing skills that are going to be meaningful and transcend just the high school experience.<\/p>\n                    <p class='quotespeaker'>&mdash; Planning Team Lead Kathryn Catalano<\/p>\n                <div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcebcac {\n    display: flex;\n    float: left;\n    margin: 30px 30px 30px 0;\n    width: 50%;\n    border-color: #888888;\n    border-top-width: 5px;\n    border-right-width: 5px;\n    border-bottom-width: 5px;\n    border-left-width: 5px;\n    background-color: #dddddd;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcebcac p.pullquotetext,\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcebcac p.quotespeaker {\n    color: #000000;;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcebcac .pullquotepic {\n    width: 100%;\n    margin-left: 0px;\n}\n.sno-story-body .sno-pullquote-6649c8bcebcac p.pullquotetext {\n    font-size: 22px;\n    line-height: 1.4em;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcebcac .quotebar {\n    background: #dddddd;\n    flex: 0 0 90px;\n    margin-top: -15px;\n    margin-left: -15px;\n    padding-left: 15px;\n    padding-top: 15px;\n    margin-right: 15px;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcebcac .largequote {\n\tcolor: #888888;\n}\n.sno-story-body-content .sno-pullquote-6649c8bcebcac p.pullquotetext, .sno-slideshow-segment .sno-pullquote-6649c8bcebcac p.pullquotetext {\n    text-indent: 0px;\n    padding-top: 0px;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcebcac .quotebody {\n    width: unset;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcebcac .quotebody {\n    max-width: calc(100% - 105px);\n\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s (about whether you can do) the skills to the level that we are asking,\u201d Stratton said. \u201cI think it\u2019s a more transparent and straightforward system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Gunn administration has formed an ad hoc committee with staff from various subjects to discuss the upcoming changes, which will occur over multiple years. According to Planning Team Lead Kathryn Catalano, Gunn will prioritize quality over speed and do everything possible to make the transition seamless. Catalano\u2019s conservative projection is that, after a transition period, the final form will be launched in the next seven years. Specifics of the plan have yet to be discussed within the planning team.<\/p>\n<p>For a smooth transition, Catalano says that support resources will be available for both teachers and students. Currently, multiple teachers are participating in a pilot program involving a few teachers from all departments to analyze the practicality of this new system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re encouraging teachers to jump into this with a teaching team rather than doing this by themselves because having a team anytime you\u2019re trying to learn something new helps a lot,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<div class='pullquote sno-pullquote-6649c8bcec79e sno-animate pullquote-shadow'>\n        <div class=\"quotebar\">\n\t    <div class='largequote'>&ldquo;<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"quotebody\">\n                        <p class='pullquotetext'>What we want to do is identify the essential learning of the class \u2014 the fundamental standards that exist for this course.<\/p>\n                    <p class='quotespeaker'>&mdash; Adlai Stevenson High School Principal Troy Gobble<\/p>\n                <div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcec79e {\n    display: flex;\n    float: right;\n    margin: 30px 0 30px 30px;\n    width: 50%;\n    border-color: #888888;\n    border-top-width: 5px;\n    border-right-width: 5px;\n    border-bottom-width: 5px;\n    border-left-width: 5px;\n    background-color: #dddddd;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcec79e p.pullquotetext,\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcec79e p.quotespeaker {\n    color: #000000;;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcec79e .pullquotepic {\n    width: 100%;\n    margin-left: 0px;\n}\n.sno-story-body .sno-pullquote-6649c8bcec79e p.pullquotetext {\n    font-size: 22px;\n    line-height: 1.4em;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcec79e .quotebar {\n    background: #dddddd;\n    flex: 0 0 90px;\n    margin-top: -15px;\n    margin-left: -15px;\n    padding-left: 15px;\n    padding-top: 15px;\n    margin-right: 15px;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcec79e .largequote {\n\tcolor: #888888;\n}\n.sno-story-body-content .sno-pullquote-6649c8bcec79e p.pullquotetext, .sno-slideshow-segment .sno-pullquote-6649c8bcec79e p.pullquotetext {\n    text-indent: 0px;\n    padding-top: 0px;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcec79e .quotebody {\n    width: unset;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcec79e .quotebody {\n    max-width: calc(100% - 105px);\n\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<p>According to Adlai Stevenson High School Principal Troy Gobble, the shift to evidence-based grading is necessary due to fundamental flaws in the status quo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a problem with the way that we have graded for 100 years,\u201d Gobble said in a video published by the school. \u201cWhat we\u2019ve done is forced students into a conversation that\u2019s around collecting points. What we want to do is identify the essential learnings of the class \u2014 the fundamental standards that exist for the course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Catalano noted that the change at Gunn will place an emphasis on developing student autonomy and competence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s more of a philosophy shift,\u201d Catalano said. \u201cOne of the big things with evidence-based grading and teaching is the focus on helping to develop student agency and spending time developing skills that are going to be meaningful and transcend just the high school experience. (It\u2019s about) moving away from content retention and memorization and more towards actual skills applications.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Computer science teacher Joshua Paley, who gave a TEDx talk in 2023 about the flaws of the current grading system, sees potential in the plan but also has some worries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI worry about class sizes being an issue because the teachers will have to get to know the students better, and it\u2019s hard to do that with the class sizes as large as they are,\u201d he said. \u201cWith that said, the concept is as promising as anything related to grades that I\u2019ve seen in a long time &#8230; But, as long as the word \u2018grades\u2019 is involved, I\u2019ll always be skeptical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Still, Catalano added that the adjustment will be a collaborative process.<\/p>\n<div class='pullquote sno-pullquote-6649c8bcecf2a sno-animate pullquote-shadow'>\n        <div class=\"quotebar\">\n\t    <div class='largequote'>&ldquo;<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n        <div class=\"quotebody\">\n                        <p class='pullquotetext'>With that said, the concept is as promising as anything related to grades that I\u2019ve seen in a long time &#8230; But, as long as the word \u2018grades\u2019 is involved, I\u2019ll always be skeptical.<\/p>\n                    <p class='quotespeaker'>&mdash; Computer science teacher Joshua Paley<\/p>\n                <div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcecf2a {\n    display: flex;\n    float: left;\n    margin: 30px 30px 30px 0;\n    width: 50%;\n    border-color: #888888;\n    border-top-width: 5px;\n    border-right-width: 5px;\n    border-bottom-width: 5px;\n    border-left-width: 5px;\n    background-color: #dddddd;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcecf2a p.pullquotetext,\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcecf2a p.quotespeaker {\n    color: #000000;;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcecf2a .pullquotepic {\n    width: 100%;\n    margin-left: 0px;\n}\n.sno-story-body .sno-pullquote-6649c8bcecf2a p.pullquotetext {\n    font-size: 22px;\n    line-height: 1.4em;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcecf2a .quotebar {\n    background: #dddddd;\n    flex: 0 0 90px;\n    margin-top: -15px;\n    margin-left: -15px;\n    padding-left: 15px;\n    padding-top: 15px;\n    margin-right: 15px;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcecf2a .largequote {\n\tcolor: #888888;\n}\n.sno-story-body-content .sno-pullquote-6649c8bcecf2a p.pullquotetext, .sno-slideshow-segment .sno-pullquote-6649c8bcecf2a p.pullquotetext {\n    text-indent: 0px;\n    padding-top: 0px;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcecf2a .quotebody {\n    width: unset;\n}\n.sno-pullquote-6649c8bcecf2a .quotebody {\n    max-width: calc(100% - 105px);\n\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want anybody to jump into this without feeling ready to do it,\u201d Catalano said. \u201c(Administrators) want to make sure that we are supporting both teachers and students so that we have a transition that feel smooth and that everybody feels supported.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>澳门六合彩内幕资料 is currently reformatting the district\u2019s grading system, beginning a pilot program to transition toward an evidence-based approach for all classes.
