• Why use Standards Referenced Grading?

    • It is our goal for students to master standards from grade to grade and report to parents the progress of how a student is growing and learning over the course of the year.

    • Reports individual academic progress of students to all stakeholders

      • Detailed in proficiency scales

      • Reported using 1-4 scale

    • Reflects students’ demonstration of an understanding of critical skills (ALSDE Course of Study)

    • Explicitly states how students must demonstrate their understanding

    • Communicates non-academic factors separately (Habits of Success)
