We are noticing a "professional judgment" icon showing up next to student scores. What does this mean?
hmmm I'm not sure either? I checked it out and couldn't figure it out.
Sharp Eyes and Minds catch these small hints that PTP uses to help teachers make data informed decisions when it comes to Standards-Based Grading.
If you work with standards grades, the Professional Judgment Indicator is designed to assist you in assessing standards grades. The indicator helps you understand which grades to focus on to determine if the final grade accurately reflects the student’s level of understanding.
Using your professional judgment, you can decide how you want to impact the final grade. You may override the final grade, or you can make the score anomaly exempt.
PS - shows the importance of using the body of evidence to make decisions. Remember that the final grade is only calculated on the final three scores indicated with red circles.
Below an example of when the indicator appears when you look at the body of evidence for a student.
- 1st image has the Professional Judgment Indicator 2.5
- 2nd image is a solid 3.0 so there is NO Professional Judgment Indicator
So observant! The following two [NEW] resources will give you a closer look at what this means, and what you might do about it...
