Members Of The Committee

The standards-based grading committee is made up of teachers, support staff, and administrators. Additional stakeholders may be consulted as plans are designed for future implementation.

The Charge

The charge of the Standards-Based Grading Committee is taken directly from one of the improvement priorities found in the AdvancEd report completed in March of 2016.

• Improvement Priority: Document, implement, and evaluate a system-wide expectation for a collaborative structure that includes alignment of the curriculum with identified essential learning targets as well as common grading and assessment practices.
