Join educators Megan Bell and Meagan Lyons as they share their journey transitioning from traditional grading to standards-based grading (SBG) at Borah High School. Through a voluntary pilot program, 50% of the school is now participating in SBG, focusing on shifting the conversation between students and teachers from task completion to mastery of concepts. In this session, the two educators will explore the challenges they faced and their strategies to build trust with teachers, students, and families to ensure a smooth transition.
Key Takeaways: - Understand the necessary steps to prepare for and implement a standards-based grading pilot program. - Learn how teachers and students shifted from task completion to mastery-focused conversations using student work as evidence. - Explore the role that technology plays in supporting this transition and how it can be used to enhance grading and assessment practices.
