Standard-Based Grading (SBG) Pilot Petition
This petition requests Pleasantdale Schools, District 107, to cease and re-evalute the current SBG pilot. In order to provide the best possible education to all children between 3rd and 8th grade. I'm requesting that the District provides:
1. A clearer understanding of the need for SBG
2. A defined goal for and clear measurements of success for SBG
3. Removal of subjectivity
- Should KWL (Know, Want to Know, Learn) be graded (in grades 3 & 4 only)
- Level 4 questions????
4. Clear & consistent guidelines on test re-takes:
- # of times permitted to retake
- standard times when retakes are permitted (during class/outside of class)
- standardization on what is needed for a teacher to allow re-takes (parent signature/approval, child’s opinion that they put forth more effort or seeking extra help from the teacher)
- Impact on students not re-taking the test; loss of teaching time
5. More focus on teaching – passionate teachers = passionate learners
6. A grading scale that is more scientific and less confusing to students, parents & teachers, but that is also compatible with STI
