Looking for an alternative to traditional high-stakes tests that have students spilling their knowledge one day, only to forget it all the next? Is your administrative team asking you to improve your collection and use of student data? Standards Based Grading (SBG) might be the solution you're looking for!
AP Statistics teacher Laura Ringwood shares specific implementation strategies for SBG, where student learning is measured by repeated assessment of learning targets instead of full chapter tests. She highlights the many benefits of SBG, shows how it was implemented in multiple math classes in a traditional high school, and reveals the work involved in getting started.
