Leading Standards-Based Learning Workshop
- Marzano Resources is closely following updates about new or updated COVID-19 guidance from local and state officials related to events and public health. We have proactively taken steps to promote the health and safety of our attendees, associates, and staff.
Standards-based grading is more than tweaking an existing grading system. For leaders, it’s their most transformational initiative and a revolution of existing curriculum, assessment, and reporting practices. School leaders will experience a thoughtful and practical implementation process for each element of an effective standards-based grading system—highlighting the potential pitfalls, opportunities, and challenges.
