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
