Standards-Base Grading (SBG)

Assessment, how? The SBGing sounds difficult, but great, until you get into the question of how is this going to be different than regular grading. It makes the kids number chasers just the same as regular assessment and it doesn't give a wholistic assessment of their knowledge; you assess each "tool," but can they discern which "tools" to use in larger problem solving situations. So I'm thinking I create a grading Rubric that has individual tool assessment as well as project assessment on it. Throw in participation, collaboration, and .... my gosh, I think my head is going to explode. I am learning so much and I see how much more I need to learn. Building with one brick at a time!
