Leading Standards-Based Learning Workshop
Revolutionize your teaching practices. Standards-based learning is a transformative journey that goes beyond minor tweaks; rather, it overhauls your curriculum, assessment, and reporting, sparking the most impactful initiatives for school leaders.
This 2-Day Workshop will emphasize the importance of starting with the rationale and process for prioritizing standards in standards-based grading rather than starting with the grading system.
Experience a thoughtful and practical implementation process for each element of an effective standards-based grading system—highlighting the potential pitfalls, opportunities, and challenges.
Learning Outcomes
- Review the rationale and process for prioritizing standards and learn how standards-based grading involves more than just tweaking an existing system.
- Understand the what, why, and how of proficiency scale development.
- Learn how to create, refine, or be a consumer of quality classroom-based assessments.
- Explore ways to determine meaningful grades.
- Examine practical considerations for leading this transformational work in your school or district.
