Dearborn High School has moved to standards-based grading. This is a grading system that is gaining acceptance throughout Michigan and the United States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Standards-based grading is a major shift in thinking about how your child earns a grade in school. Gone are the days of the A-E grading scale. DHS wants parents and students to know what their child has learned and\/or still needs help on. Previously, if a student received a B, parents and students did not know what actual skills their child was lacking and needed to improve on. Standards-based grading eliminates this confusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is standards-based grading? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Students are graded on a number scale from 4-3-2-1-0. Standards are a list of things that students are supposed to learn in each class. In U.S. History, we will be focusing on 4 standards. All of the scores in our gradebook will be under one of these four categories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Skill 1: Historical Argumentation (HA)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skill 2: Source Evaluation (SE)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skill 3: Historical and Geographical Literacy (HGL)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Skill 4: Social Emotional Learning-Self-Management (SEL)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why is standards-based grading better than the old A-E grading scale?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Scoring Guide: Standards-Based Grading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Students will be recieving this grading rubric in class. Their copy has the explanation for how to reach each level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Master: 4 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Student independently demonstrates a deep understanding of the knowledge and skills, and is able to apply it to new and unfamiliar situations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Proficient: 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n Student consisently understands, and independently and accurately applies the knowledge and skills in familiar situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Partially Proficient: 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n With teacher support, student demonstrates an emerging level of understanding and ability to apply the knowledge and skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Beginning: 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n With teacher support, student attempts to demonstrate a basic understanding and ability to apply the knowledge and skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Missing: 0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not enough evidence to determine level of proficiency. Evidence is either missing or incomplete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A student will move from each number once they have demonstrated that they understand the standard and they can demonstrate it independently. (K)<\/p>\n\n\n\n THE FINAL SEMESTER GRADE:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n To earn an A, students need a final score of 4 for three of our four standards and a score of 3 for the remaining standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To earn a B, students need a final score of 3 for 3 of our four standards and a score of 2 for the remaining standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To earn a C, students need a final score of 2 on all four standards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To earn a D, students need a final score of 2 for three of the standards and a score of 1 for the remaining standard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Failure to earn an A through a D, will mean the student failed the class. Students will have to repeat the class in order to receive credit for graduation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dearborn High School has moved to standards-based grading.
