AC LAB The mission of Academic Lab is to promote student growth and achievement while enhancing the academic experience for all students. Students check in with their academic lab teacher and create a plan for how they will use 80 flexible minutes. Students also check out with this teacher for attendance purposes. This happens during every “B” day. These are some ways students use their time: Meet with teachers to get extra support Complete group projects Study individually or with a group Apply for college, jobs, or scholarships Meet with counselors Take a brain break
Standard Based Grading SBG more accurately captures a student’s level of performance on the standards and skills included in the curriculum Course Grades Standards Category 60-70% Performance Category 20-40% Exam Category (optional) 10% Standards Category up to 3 opportunities for students to show mastery of a particular skill (e.g. supporting your argument with evidence); a common grading scale that assesses a student’s skill level on a 100 point scale, with a minimum score of 50. Performance Category includes participation, classwork, homework, etc.
Standard Based Grading M O D E L Standard Based Grading Key Points Standards grades are not based on effort and turning in work, but whether a student shows understanding and mastery of a target skill (e.g. solving a linear equation) In some cases, a Standards grade will have more than one entry - in that case, the grades will usually be averaged to produce a final grade for that skill There are some differences from class to class, so it is important to communicate with the teacher, especially if you are unclear on how grades are being entered and calculated Students still receive credit for their participation, work ethic, etc. Needs some further revision
B’s or better - High School GPA is the Best Predictor of College Success
