Standards-Based
Grading Work Sessions
Standards-Based Grading: Acquiring, Recording,
and Reporting Data
The purpose of the work session is to study and reflect on the issues
surrounding implementing a standards-based classroom and how to begin putting
those pieces in place. During the day, we will be looking at the three main
components of standards-based assessment and grading: Acquiring, Recoding, and
Reporting student work. An important part of the day will also be looking at
what role WebGrader® plays in each of these.
