Standards Based Grading
Our school district uses Standards Based Grading. Multiple means of assessment will be used throughout the school year including oral questioning, teacher observation, exit tickets, group projects and assessments. To the right is a visual explanation of the letter grades your child receives on the skills/standards that are taught in the art room.
In addition to these your student may receive an "I" for Insufficient Evidence. This means the teacher does not have enough evidence to assess the standard - perhaps the child was absent when the assignment was given or they refused to complete the work.
