Solutions for Standards-Based Grading Virtual Workshop
Standards-based grading is more than tweaking an existing grading system. Rather, it’s a revolution of existing curriculum, assessment, and reporting practices that, for leaders, are the most transformational initiative they lead. In this virtual training, we will walk teams of leaders and teachers through thoughtful and practical implementation of each element of an effective standards-based grading system—highlighting the potential pitfalls, opportunities, and challenges.

Hear from our attendees
“This workshop supported decisions that we have already made. It provided a process for "our missing link" (proficiency scales) as we move to standards-based grading.”
“As an ELA teacher, priority standards have eluded me. I finally understand them. I’m excited to create proficiency scales with my students.”
“Excellent workshop taught right. Amazing content that can absolutely revolutionize my teaching, school, and district.”
“The most valuable aspect of the workshop was breaking it down and helping me understand how to take what I already do, how to teach what I teach, and adjust it to help my students grow. Priority standards and proficiency scales are AWESOME!”
