Standards Based Grading
A = 4.00-3.5
|
Rationale:
The Visual Arts is part of a group of teachers who are redesigning and aligning our curriculum with the Washington State Standards. These standards are the basis for the areas I've chosen to focus on at Liberty in Visual Art. The majority of classes I teach have their emphasis on learning to CREATE art and PRESENT & RESPOND to works of art. Through art at Liberty students also make CONNECTIONS to their own lives, history and the community. |

Grading:
Grading will differ in this course compared to other middle school instructors. I am excited to be a member of pilot teachers seeking to apply standards based reporting to secondary content areas. Standards based reporting
creates clarity and equity to the learning we will do in our class. Together we will set goals, evaluate growth and assess individually as well as receive
feedback from me consistently on all areas we explore. Students can expect to receive proficiency scores rather than letter grades or percentages at the end of each assignment or on report cards. Please do not hesitate to ask questions at any time. We are in this together and I look forward to learning from you all as well.
