I just finished spending two days with Dr. Robert Marzano (and 400 of my closest friends) learning about Formative Assessment and Standards-Based Grading. Here are some resources that you may find useful whether you attended or are just interested in learning more about standards-based grading:

• Marzano Research Labs- FREE resources from presentations
• Marzano Resources used with Washington State
• Green Slate– an online Gradebook program- could be a nice place to play if you are putting a “toe in the water” of standards-based grading
• Essential Learning Reports from Douglas County School District- tools for building your own scales
• Links to school districts doing this work: Adams County and Anchorage School District
• Re-Inventing Schools Coalition
• Rubrics for measuring Science and Math topics in Washington State

You may also be interested in resources on Standards-Based Grading from Tara Richerson- see my recent post HERE There is a template for a standards-based gradebook in science.
