Standards Based Grading at Crockett High School

What is Standards-Based Grading (SBG)?

A philosophy that student grades should reflect what standards they know and calls on you to design all instruction and assessments around those standards.

Why SBG?

SBG gives students a meaningful, realistic learning experience. It is transparent and allows for growth.

SBG Creates:

• Intentional instruction
• A system where progress can be measured per standard
• Accurate representation of knowledge
• A reduction in the number of inaccurate and/or inflated grades
• Dialogue between students and teacher about the standards
• A trusting environment that does not penalize students for mistakes made while learning
