"Mary Lou, I just came across this old thread, and am sorry to hear that you lost out on something that you love and something that seems like it was a good measure of actual student learning and progression.
I think I might try to implement…"

Penelope Millar replied to Michael Kaechele's discussion Standard based assessment and reporting (sbar) in social studies in the group World History Educators"I'm sorry to hear that. I get so focused on the negatives of dealing with the standardized test that we have in almost every subject here in VA that I never thought of standardization in a place that doesn't have state history tests. Ugh."
Michael Kaechele replied to Michael Kaechele's discussion Standard based assessment and reporting (sbar) in social studies in the group World History Educators"Mary Lou,
Thanks for sharing your story. It is terrible, but I believe needs to be shared. Could I have permission to share this on my blog? I will quote you unless you would prefer to be anonymous. I think people need to hear the negative effects…"
Mary Lou Buell replied to Michael Kaechele's discussion Standard based assessment and reporting (sbar) in social studies in the group World History Educators"I will look and see if I can find that old list. But I have to confess, you are bringing up a sore subject for me. After a decade on the job, I thought I have finally hit on a great system. The skills. the skill progress chart, etc. made the subject…"
Penelope Millar replied to Michael Kaechele's discussion Standard based assessment and reporting (sbar) in social studies in the group World History Educators"I'm reviving this topic- is anyone using SBG in social studies that has more to share?
I like the idea of skills, it makes sense to me. I've long struggled to try and implement SBG (and actually gave up for a couple of years) because of…"
Miss Teacha replied to Michael Kaechele's discussion Standard based assessment and reporting (sbar) in social studies in the group World History Educators"@ Mary Lou, do you mind sharing your 13 skills/documents associated with SBG? I'm wanting to see how I could implement SBG in my classes this year. my email is missteacha@gmail.com"
Jamie Josephson replied to Michael Kaechele's discussion Standard based assessment and reporting (sbar) in social studies in the group World History Educators"Mary Lou - I'd love to see that list if you have access to it now. We're going to teach backwards from the Haitian Revolution to "world religions" so I think doing a skills list grading system would be awesome. Thanks!"
Michael Kaechele replied to Bill Chapman's discussion How far along are you in reading Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death? in the group Book Club"I just got the book and will start it soon, but don't wait on me. I know I am late to the party."
Michael Kaechele replied to Michael Kaechele's discussion Standard based assessment and reporting (sbar) in social studies in the group World History Educators"I like hearing your approach. My school assesses a few skills separately from content (work effort, communication, and collaboration are 10% each of total grade) and the content is 70%. I want to/need to assess them specifically on the content…"
Mary Lou Buell replied to Michael Kaechele's discussion Non-textbook reading ideas in the group World History Educators"Wow...I think this will be challenging for the older material. For the history that I teach (1800-present) I rely on news accounts of the day for the "facts" of the matter...as well as primary sources.
Did a really…"
Mary Lou Buell replied to Michael Kaechele's discussion Standard based assessment and reporting (sbar) in social studies in the group World History Educators"I do standards reporting, but differently. My standards are the 13 "skills" that I keep assessing using different content that I teach. When I give a test each question has a note under it that explains what skill is being tested.…"

Standard based assessment and reporting (sbar) in social studies
I am planning to use sbar in my World History class in the fall. I am looking to connect with others who have used sbar in the social studies classroom who will share their successes and pitfalls. I am also looking for people interesting in sharing their list of standards. Mine are a work in progress here.See More

Here is a GDoc of book ideas mostly generated by by ELA teaching partner. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LBy8qPWfL2lhQI3M-s3COAknaVDjkNcrC3Lyum70xpE/edit?hl=en_US&authkey=CPqr2rQM"
Michael Kaechele replied to Mary Lou Buell's discussion What is World History? in the group World History Educators"In Michigan it is 300AD-present for high school. I will be teaching at a new PBL school in the fall and am in the process of developing my own curriculum. It is a work in…"
HeyMrsTE4chr replied to Michael Kaechele's discussion Non-textbook reading ideas in the group World History Educators"I taught a short lived Historical Fiction class (thank you, budget cuts).
I used this blog for finding some books: ratinghistoricalfiction.blogspot.com/ I also used a list from Amazon.com to find titles. I think it was an AP course…"
