Standards Based Grading
This presentation outlines the journey of implementing standards-based grading at South Valley Junior High School. It discusses moving from traditional grading to standards-based assessments over the past two years. Key aspects of the new system include identifying learning goals, building formative and summative assessments aligned to standards, providing retake opportunities for students, and communicating results separately for academic performance and life skills. The presentation shares resources and strategies to help explain the philosophy and implementation of standards-based grading.
