We are moving to a more formalized standards based assessment system. Working from a set of standards identified for course, teachers would develop rubrics to assess students at the end of each unit against those standards. I am looking at whether CBE will work for our model. If we are using sub-skills as a Unit level…
One problem we are running into is our teachers like to use the gradebook for grading. However, they accidentally enter comments in the wrong place because the gradebook has both skills and the place where you would usually enter a “grade” in the standards system. WE have standards turned off but there is no way to turn…
Hi, I'm interested how others are accessing/using CBE data. Two different threads here: * How do teachers access and share/use their skills data? I feel like the reporting options are pretty limited.

Does anyone know if I allow teachers to select a computation method of their own, can they change that computation method during the course (for content area skills). IE, ideally it would be great for teachers to be able to toggle between the computation methods in order to see how they shake out at the end and use…
