We know moving from a “traditional” grading system to one that is based on standards (and how students are achieving in relation to those standards) is not an easy task. A school system cannot simply take an old report card…change the letter to numbers (or fancy labels) and expect anything to change. This session focuses on the necessity to create a system of teaching and learning based on standards that then develops into and aligns with the grading and reporting of those standards in a coherent, seamless manner. Featured presenter Tom Schimmer, author of Standards-based Learning in Action: Moving from Theory to Practice, highlights the process and actions necessary to make standards-based teaching and learning, assessing, grading and reporting seamless and a reality.
