Learn how to implement grading practices that support all learners in your learning environment.
Standards-Based Grading for All invites teachers and administrators from any/all levels to spend some time reflecting upon their current assessment practices, the way they give feedback, and how grades are assigned.

The goal of this course is to provide both the research behind the “why” for Standards-Based Grading (SBG) as well as practical examples of SBG in practice. 

Whether your entire school/district is considering a switch to SBG or you are an individual educator seeking to make this change, this course will provide you with the tools to do so. 

Each module will be universally designed to include a variety of materials to increase participants' understanding of SBG and the different ways it can be implemented to help ensure inclusive classrooms in which students take ownership of their learning and feedback drives the process.  

Course Objectives

Participants will understand what standards-based grading is and why it is a pathway to more equitable and inclusive classrooms and schools.
Participants will learn what standards-based grading can look like both when the whole school is transitioning to it and when an individual teacher is looking to use SBG in a “traditional” grading system.
Participants will create their own rationales for and pathways to SBG to be used with their current stakeholders and develop the belief that they can be successful in implementing SBG.

Our students love us

I liked the variety of resources given in each Module and I also like how the resources included different content areas. And I really appreciated the "progress over perfection" mantra of the course. It really resonated with me and just seems like a good mind set to use in life. We all need a starting place and can tend to overthink so much. Sometimes just trying and adjusting is the best! Thanks 
I really enjoyed that there were plentiful resources to CHOOSE from for each module. I appreciated that very much - it allowed me to choose something that interested me and was a fit for me, professionally. Also, it allowed me to dive deeper when needed/wanted. Thank you!
The comparisons made between traditional grading and standards based grading helped me to create a visual of how they are different and how standards based grading is more effective.
