Aiming to Implement Standards Based Grading for 13-14

1. Shift from tracking by chapter to tracking by concept or content standard
2. Allow opportunities for students to show growth (through reassessments)
3. Refrain from grading any homework or practice
4. Provide timely and effective feedback
5. Spiral concepts throughout the curriculum and our assessments
6. Provide shorter and more frequent quizzes
7. Assess what is of value
8. Provide clear goals and expectations for performance
9. Encourage risk-taking, failure, iteration and experimentation 
10. Do what works best for the students in our situation
