A1 Standards Based Grading switches the focus in the classroom from grading to learning. #sblchat

DaveWheeler11 Feb 22 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1) School needs to create an emphasis on what children are learning, what they know and don't know. SBG creates a focus to do that #sblchat

garnet_hillman - Moderator Feb 22 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 With SBG, grading is not punitive & it is not compensation for our students. It simply reports academic achievement. #sblchat

Diana_Sarao Feb 22 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1: The purpose is to be more accurate and intentional with instruction & reporting progress. #sblchat

RoweRikW Feb 22 @ 9:09 PM EST
