When I am going to do something new or write something I want to be proud of, I spend an exorbitant amount of time researching it. My wife used to make fun of me for the hours I spent researching and outlining my grad papers. In my defense, when I started writing them, it typically only took an hour or two. As I prepare to get myself ready to use standards based grading, I have been reading a lot of great blogs. Like Think Thank Thunk and Action-Reaction. Three things have come up in my mind that I wanted to list:
1. These guys have been doing this since 2010. Why did I sit around for so long? Why am I one of the first teachers at my school to do this?
2. Thank goodness these guys did it before me and are now providing such a great resource.
3. The reason I am changing is because I want to switch from a grading focus to a learning focus. Why is it called Standards Based GRADING instead of Standards Based LEARNING?
