Question
|
Mr. O Connor:
As a middle school PE teacher, I am trying to sort through how to get going on Stand. Based Grading. I like deaing with the standards and not the behaviors, dressing out, etc....If it is my departments philosophy to have our units last only 2 weeks before moving on to another unit, how am I to gather enough information to assess all 37 kids? Since my domain is physical performance, should I not take longer? What about the child who just has no skill, no matter how much I work with him? thank you so much for your vision on grading & assessment.

By focussing on the critical skills (2-4).
Since my domain is physical performance, should I not take longer?
Definitely. I would have thought that the critical skills, e.g. footwork, continue through the
year whatever the activity.
What about the child who just has no skill, no matter how much I work with him?
Sounds like me in middle school music! You have to be honest and keep him trying by
identifying tiny successes (improvement).
