Standards-based learning is a great step forward for schools, but it must be implemented correctly to ensure the best educational experience possible. In this comprehensive implementation guide, the authors outline a research-backed, five-phase plan for leading transition to a standards-based grading system.

Use this book to take full advantage of academic standards and criterion-referenced forms of education:

Develop a strong standards-based curriculum. Align instruction and reliable assessments to the standards. Change outdated grading and reporting practices to promote student learning and growth. Share knowledge with and seek feedback from teachers, students, families, and other stakeholders. Achieve a sustainable standards-based learning system that benefits all students in a school or district. Study implementation examples from real teachers, leaders, and schools.
