EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting
Shifts & Rationale
![Page 2: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
SHIFT IN HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT
Before – Credit awarded by attending a high school course and receiving a passing grade
Competency – Credit awarded by mastering all competencies in a high school course (e.g. math)
▫Concepts & procedures▫Problem solving▫Communicating & reasoning▫Modeling % data analysis
![Page 3: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
RATIONALE FOR HS CREDIT SHIFT•Meets NH Minimum Standards (2008-2009)
▫High school course competencies for credit▫Assessment methods for competencies
•Provides opportunity to learn in or outside the classroom/school ▫Physical education competencies by sports,
physical fitness facility attendance, etc.▫World language competencies through life
experience, travel, etc.
![Page 4: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
SHIFT IN MASTERY OF CONTENTBefore – Overall course grade of ≥ 65%
▫72% Algebra I
Competency – Competency grade of C- or better (≥ 70%)
▫C Concepts & procedures▫C- Problem solving▫C+ Communicating & reasoning▫C Modeling & data analysis
![Page 5: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
RATIONALE FOR MASTERY SHIFT•Defines mastery as C- or better to receive
credit•Raises the academic bar for all students•Supports Common Core State Standards
in which students must be competent to move onto next course or level
•Supports Epping School District Mission to produce competent, confident learners
![Page 6: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
SHIFT IN ASSESSMENT
Before – Individual teachers decide assessment methodology
▫Students taking same course have different requirements
▫Students taking multiple courses have different requirements in each content area
After – School-wide assessment methodology ▫4 to 6 Summative assessments per quarter▫8 to 12 Summative assessments per semester
![Page 7: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
RATIONALE FOR ASSESSMENT SHIFT•Addresses parent concerns
▫Inconsistent assessment practices used in same course and other courses
▫Inadequate number of assessments used to determine student’s grade
•Provides more opportunity for▫Students to demonstrate their learning▫Teachers to evaluate student learning and
intervene when students are not learning
![Page 8: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SHIFT IN GRADINGBefore – Individual teachers determine grading methodology
▫Students taking same course have different requirements
▫Students taking multiple courses have different requirements in each content area
After – School-wide grading methodology ▫Formative assessments 10% (during learning
period)▫Summative assessments 90% (end of learning
period)
![Page 9: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
RATIONALE FOR GRADING•Addresses parent concerns
▫Inconsistent grading practices in same course and other courses
▫Too much emphasis on formative assessments rather than what my child knows and is able to do
•Prepares students for career and college▫Acknowledges importance of practice (formative)▫Places more emphasis on demonstration of
knowledge and skills (summative)▫Aligns with NECAP, SAT, AP testing
![Page 10: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SHIFT TO REASSESSMENT
Before - Some teachers gave students the option of reassessing for a failing grade or to improve a grade
After – All students may reassess for a failing grade or to improve a grade
![Page 11: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
RATIONALE FOR REASSESSMENT
•Failing is not an option•Students learn at different rates and in
different ways•Students have bad days•All students can and must learn•Students must be competent to receive
HS credit•Shift to passing grade of 70%•Cultural shift to learning
![Page 12: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
SHIFT TO MORE INFORMATIONBefore – School reports overall course grade• 75% Algebra I
After – School reports 3 measures of learning• Overall course grade (0 to 100%)
▫Evaluate student passing & completing work• Competency content grade (A+ to C-, N or I)
▫Award high school course credit on content mastery
• Competency skill grade ( 1 to 4)▫Evaluate student learning habits & process skills
![Page 13: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
RATIONALE FOR REPORTING SHIFTReports • If student is completing and passing assessments• What student knows and is able to do• What skills student is using during the learning process
Meets • NH Minimum Standards – reports mastery on course
competencies to receive credit• NEASC Standards – reports learning expectations
(content & skill competencies)• A Framework for 21st Century Learning – reports 21st
century content & skills (content & skill competencies)
![Page 14: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
RECOMMENDED IMPROVEMENTS
EHS REPORTING & GRADING SYSTEM
![Page 15: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Issues:
1. Overall Averages not accurately displayed on the Quick Look Up Screen
2. Not knowing what competencies are assessed within each assignment
3. Reassessment4. Discrepancy between Competency
grades and overall course grade
![Page 16: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Overall Averages not accurately displayed on the Quick Look Up Screen
•Teachers did not enter grades below 70%, instead they recorded it as missing (see below)
![Page 17: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

MISSED ASSESSMENTSBefore – Missed summative assessments were not recorded anticipating student making up the work
Recommendation – Missed assessments are recorded as a zero (0)*• Averages in & lowers the reported overall course
grade• Yields an incomplete (I) for competency content
grade
*If assessment is completed, new grade will be recorded
![Page 21: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
FAILED ASSESSMENTSBefore – Failed summative assessments were not recorded anticipating student reassessing
Recommendation – Failed assessments are recorded*• Averages in and lowers reported overall course
grade• May yield a “not yet competent” (N) for competency
content grade if average is less than 70%
*If assessment is retaken, improved grade will be recorded
![Page 22: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
COMPETENCIES ASSESSED
Before – Reported formative and summative assessments did not clearly indicate the competencies being assessed
Recommendation – All reported assessments will clearly indicate the competencies being assessed
![Page 23: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

REASSESSMENTBefore
• All students had to reassess summative assessments below a 70%
• Some students are not reassessing for missed, failed or incomplete assessments or in a timely manner.
• Some students are not electing to take the original assessment.
Recommendation• Is no longer mandatory but recommended • Reassessment Plans must be initiated within 5 days of
receiving the grade assessment.
![Page 26: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Discrepancy between Competency grades and overall course grade
For students scoring below a 60% on formative assessment, competency grades have been inflated. The overall grade has been accurately reported.
![Page 27: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Changes to language in the Grading and Reporting Guideline• Pg. 2 – students must pass all competencies each
quarter to earn credit.• Pg. 3- Overall grade is the average of all assessment
scores for that term. Each assessment is linked to one or more competency.
• Pg. 5 - Earned grades will be recorded in PowerSchool.• Pg. 5- Students who choose not to complete formative
assessments will lose the right to reassess.• Pg. 6 – Reassessment plans must be submitted within 5
days of receiving the graded assessment.• Pg. 7 – A 5 day “buffer period will occur to the close a
quarter to allow for reassessment.
![Page 28: EHS Competency-Based Grading & Reporting Shifts & Rationale.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062620/551b842b550346a6148b5917/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Things that remain the same…
•Semester grade is the average of Q1 & Q2 overall course grade.
•Semester grades are recorded on the transcripts and used to calculate cumulative GPA
•Students who do not earn credit must plan to recover credit.
•Teacher change of grade forms remain the same.
