Why Standards Based Grading and Reporting
Standards Based Grading and Reporting is a procedure, culture, behavior and practice used to make sure that grades are accurate, consistent, meaningful and that they promote learning. Marie uses 'the story of the B's' to illustrate what's wrong with averaging and traditional grading and why standards based grading and reporting is a more useful approach.
Instructional Impacts
How do we prepare for the instructional impacts that occur when standards based grading and reporting is introduced? In this video Marie emphasizes transparency, adjusting assumptions and distinguishing between product and process feedback as vital for teachers, students and parents while transitioning from traditional to standards based grading and reporting.
