Building Parent Engagement in Schools
Read for continuing ed.....
This was a mixed bag for me. I think standards-based grading is something that is likely coming down the pike, but I think there are many issues that need to be worked out and addressed before I will be gung ho about it. Some of the "practical solutions" the authors suggested didn't seem all that practical or they were only practical after a district figures out how to get over the big hurdle of setting up the system in the first place, which wasn't really addressed here.
Reading this made me realize that I agree with a lot of premises of standards-based grading, but I need to learn much more about implementation, etc.
