Summary guidelines for standard-based grading

• Grades must relate to academic standards and course expectations
• Public criteria and student work examples are reference points for grading
• Grades should be based only on individual academic achievement
• Sample student performance - do not include all scores in grades
• Keep records that can be updated easily
• Crunch numbers carefully - if at all
• Use quality assessments and properly recorded achievement evidence
