This document provides an overview of standards-based grading (SBG), including its rationale, implementation, and conclusions. Some key points include:
SBG focuses on determining grades based solely on evidence of a student's mastery of standards, not things like behavior. It allows for re-assessment and reporting of student progress. SBG involves creating rubrics aligned to standards and using a scale of 0-50 to determine a student's current level of mastery. Teachers must provide opportunities for re-assessment to demonstrate new learning. Overall SBG aims to make the grading system more transparent and focused on learning rather than points or compliance.
