Guiding Principles of Standards Based Grading

1. Grades and reports will be based on clearly specified objectives and assessment criteria

2. Grading and feedback practices contribute to growth in student learning

3. Academic grades reflect growth and achievement not behavior

4. Grades accurately reflect students' current levels of achievement
