"If you’d like to see assessment amount to more than a meaningless exercise in classroom control, if you’d like to see cheating drop and confidence rise, if you’d like to see a higher correlation between the grade you feel a student deserves and the grade on that student’s transcript … take something from this page."

Not just for math!

July 8: Standards Based Grading, Where to Start and How to go Deeper

Presented by Jessica Bogie (@algebrainiac1) & Matt Owen (@_mattowen_) Standards Based Grading is mentioned quite often as we delve deeper into CCSS. We will talk how we started with SBG, how we keep it organized, share a few favorite sites & pointers and turn to the audience to help discuss how to make it even more beneficial for our students and their understanding.

Regan links to this webinar in her presentation, and it provides a very useful foundation.
