Standards-Based Grading
Standards-based grading makes grades more meaningful because they indicate progress made on specific learning objectives, rather than simply calculating averages. Stands-based grading allows teachers, families, and students to keep track of the progress they are making on the specific concepts being learned in class. For more information about standards-based grading, please read this helpful article from Educational Leadership.
