Standards Based Grading
As the middle schools in our district move closer to full implementation of standards-based grading (SBG), and standards-based reporting, we continue to explore resources that are out there. This is a resource that I wish I explored when I was in the classroom. I am excited to play around, but I am more excited to see how this tool can help teachers communicate effectively with students and provide descriptive, timely feedback on their progress.
This post is two-fold, (1) about finding out if there are other schools and individuals out there that use JumpRope and what their experience or story might be as it pertains to SBG, and (2) getting people in my district as excited as I am about this opportunity. JumpRope appears to have a lot of great options, and is even free to teachers (but the administrative, full district edition is not.... and that's the part I'm excited to explore more as our district moves forward).
I'm interested in finding out how teachers have used, can use, and will use this to transform their feedback to students. Are you one of these teachers? Do you know one of these teachers? Tell me more!
If you are from my district, or just intrigued overall, check out JumpRope for FREE at www.jumpro.pe or their blog at www.jumpro.pe/blog and let me know your story!
