Learner 1A

Set professional learning goals to explore and apply pedagogical approaches made possible by technology and reflect on their effectiveness.

I set professional learning goals to stay motivated about teaching and learning and continuously improve my practice. I want to expand my knowledge of standards-based grading practices and the available options for implementation in Schoology by June 2021. To reach my goal I used Michigan’s eLibrary to curate research around the topic of standards-based grading. By December of 2021 my goal is to answer several key questions: What is the history of grading? What are the barriers to system-wide change? 


Goal

June 2022
Expand my knowledge of standards-based grading practices by June 2022.

December 2021
To reach my professional learning goal by June 2022 I developed a research plan. Using the Michigan eLibrary I will craft several research questions and identify credible sources where I will begin my research.

Research Questions
  • What is standards-based grading?
  • How does standards-based grading differ from traditional grading methods?
  • What are the platforms, tools, and resources that support standards-based grading in K12 schools?
  • What are the challenges of  implementing standards-based grading in K12 schools?
  • What works when K-12 schools implement standards-based grading?
