SBG Posters – What Does My Quiz Score Mean?

Today I want to share a set of new SBG Posters I created.

This year, I have decided to switch from my A/B/Not Yet SBG scale to a 1-4 SBG scale.  When I tweeted about stopping A/B/Not Yet, I got several questions about why I was making this decision.  I absolutely loved the A/B/Not Yet system.  But, it was so hard to get students and parents to wrap their mind around my intentions.  Students would describe the system to their parents, and then I would hear parents describe the system back to me.  What I would hear would not even be remotely close to how the system actually worked.

A/B/Not Yet was actually based on a 1-4 SBG scale.  “A” was equivalent to a 4.  “B” was equivalent to a 3 or 3.5.  “Not Yet” was equivalent to a 1 or 2.  I thought that by renaming it “A/B/Not Yet” would help students who have never been exposed to SBG understand it.  But, I think use of “A” and “B” might have just confused the matter.

So, here’s my new grading scale.  Thanks goes to my husband for coming up with the descriptors.  I edited my “What should my answer look like?” posters to make SBG posters.
