  15. Why standards-based grading? • It is considered best-practice because standards: • Clearly communicate the learning target • Allow for targeted feedback to support learning • Encourage a growth mindset • Promote intrinsic motivation toward learning Traditional grading • Grades tend to demotivate rather than motivate Sources: Boaler, Dweck, and Dueck

  16. Standards Based Grading Scale

  17. What’s in a grade? • Learning Checks 50% • Unit Tests and Projects 50% • A score of 3(B) or 4(A) means your student is meeting standard • 2 or lower, not yet
