Standards based grading (SBG) is about better communication. You will have access to your student's progress towards grade-level standards as students build their body of evidence. Grade-level standards are taken from North Dakota's Content Standards.
The Standards-Based Instruction and Standards-Based Grading model is rooted in building a body of evidence that shows proficiency in a set number of standards designated by each individual course.
