IMPLEMENTING “STANDARDS-BASED GRADING” IN MUSIC ROUNDTABLES

REGISTRATION HERE

Roundtable – A conference for discussion or deliberation by several participants; everyone has an equal chance to express ideas.

Here is an opportunity to participate in a Roundtable discussion–to think aloud with other music educators–about a framework for communicating student achievement to students and their families known as standards-based grading, standards-referenced grading, proficiency or competency grading.

What questions do you want to ask others? Or, what experiences could you share?

• What does the music report card look like (one grade/more than one grade; multiple statements, letters or numbers)?
• How do you report effort/behavior/participation?
• How do you manage multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate learning?
• How do you use formative and summative assessments?
• How do you give students individual feedback?
• If students “Meet Standard” right away what do you do?
• Does your district use proficiency or competency scales?
• Other?

EVENT LOCATION: ONLINE – This is an online meeting. You will receive a link prior to the Roundtable.
