Standards-Based Grading

Course Description

This course provides an introduction into what standards-based grading is and how to implement it in the classroom. Even within a district or school building that does not incorporate standards-based grading, educators can still apply standards-based grading practices within their classrooms, and this course gives strategies on how to do so. By implementing standards-based grading, grades have more meaning to both educators and students. On top of which, educators and students better understand where students are at in their learning.
