  1. Standards-Based Summit Welcome to the SBG Journey • Heather Naro and Rob Brewitt • April 2, 2014

  2. Workshop Outcomes • Student engagement • Grading practices, what is SBR? • Report cards at ISE

  3. Grit

  4. Setting the Stage • Motivation • Growth Mindset • Drive

  5. Assessment to Improve Instruction • “It is very difficult for students to achieve a learning goal unless they understand that goal and can assess what they need to do to reach it.So self-assessment is essential to learning.” • Paul Black et al. 2003

  6. Fixed Mind Set • Children are born gifted • Children have natural talent • Their traits are set in stone

  7. Growth Mind Set • Success come from effort • Success comes from practice • Success comes from hard work

  8. “People are, to a large extend, in charge of their own intelligence. Being smart - and staying smart - is not just a gift, not just a product of their genetic good fortune, it is very much a product of what they put into it.” Carol Dweck, PhD

  9. Drive and Motivation • Daniel Pink • We need to move kids toward autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

  10. Critical Look at Homework • Am I offering students any autonomy over how and when to do this work? • Does this assignment promote mastery by offering a novel, engaging task (as opposed to rote reformulation of something already covered in class)? • Do my students understand the purpose of this assignment?

  11. Offer Praise… The Right Way • Praise effort and strategy, not intelligence • Make praise specific • Offer praise only when there's a good reason for it

  12. Behavior Extra Credit Late Work Average Grade Median Grade Delete Lowest Grade Following Instructions Academic Performance Weighted Grade Participation Homework Effort Traditional Grading: Potential Factors “C” Kevin Hawkins International School of Prague (2012)

  13. Why Standards-Based? “There is a century of consistent evidence that makes the need for change in grading policies obvious.... many common grading practices are ineffective and counterproductive.” • Douglas Reeves

  14. Why Standards-Based? • Our experience shows us that standards-based assessment and reporting is best for student learning. • Standards-based is a growth model rather than a deficit model. It promotes improvement and mastery learning. • Remember....teacher’s are still teaching and the kids are still learning. This is just a new perspective on assessment and reporting that refocuses energy on growth.

  15. Schools Implementing SBA • Hong Kong International School • International School Eastern Seaboard • Singapore American School • American School of Doha • Shekou International School • International School of Bangkok • International School of Prague • International School Bangkok • Jakarta International School • Beijing BISS International School • Concordia International School Shanghai • Shanghai American School • American School of Warsaw • Anglo-American School of Moscow • Bangkok Pattana School • Canadian Academy • American International School of Guangzhou • NESA Reporting Project

  17. Standards-BasedAssessment & Reporting A process where each student’s performance is assessed against criteria of learning targets within a specific subject. The standards-based report card communicates progress towards mastery of learning standards. Criterion-Based Outcomes-Based

  18. Rick Stiggins “In a standards-based school, students are active in thinking about their learning. They know where they’re going, where they are now and how to close the gap between the two.”

  19. Standards- Based Grading and the Game of School

  20. New Role for Educators • Shift from teaching • TO • ...ensuring that all students are learning. • “Do our grading practices reflect this new role?”

  21. Report Cards • Developing a Standards-Based • Reporting System

  22. Determine “Reportables” • These are academic “standards” for the report card • Reportables are anchored back to the K12 standards • Cognitive skills • Learning competencies • Performance outcomes

  23. Determine Work Habits • Use process grading criteria • Work habits and behaviors • Social learning skills and effort • Expected Student Learning Results • It can include checklists for self-evaluation
