In this episode we speak with Anna Clark all about how to fit a square peg in a round hole. Yes, we’re talking about standards based grading and rigid gradebook programs and policies.Anna is just starting her second year and is currently teaching 8th grade. Together we develop a plan for her to take all of her formative assessment data she’s collected and fit it into her district grading program. Stick around so you can learn how too.  This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we talk with a member of the Math Moment Maker Community who is working through problems of practice and together we brainstorm possible next steps and strategies to overcome them. You’ll Learn: How to blend your assessment and evaluation approach with a rigid district grading system; What really matters when assessing students; How you can shift the purpose of your gradebook; and, How you can calculate the final grade for a reporting system using standards based grading.Resources: Make Math Moments TasksAssessment For Growth [Course]Episode #52: The Purpose of AssessmentEpisode #138: Morphing Your Assessment Practices – A Math Mentoring MomentEpisode #143: How To Capture Observations & Conversations in Math Class Episode #190: Assessment Questions & AnswersEpisode #189: Assessing Beyond Right & Wrong – An Interview with Tom SchimmerSign Up For The Make Math Moments Virtual SummitEmpower your educators to elevate their pedagogical practice and deepen their mathematics content knowledge.Your Educators can attend this FREE LIVE Virtual Summit on Saturday November 19th and Sunday November 20th, 2022.Learn More: https://makemathmoments.com/summitdistrict/ Create engagement while fuelling students sense making by using Make Math Moments ready-made lessons and units.
