Rethinking Grading ― Meaningful Assessment for Standards Based Learning

This guide provides a new method for standards-based grading that focuses on student mastery of content. It describes the problems with the current system and beliefs about grades; how traditional grading practices hinder the development of skills students need; the standards-based grading system, what practices are needed for implementation, and how it affects curriculum, instruction, assessment, and the learning process; what, how, and when to grade; and systemic changes that are needed to support standards-based learning.
