How Standards-Based Grading and Decaying Averages
Can Change Your Classroom
Maybe you've never heard of either Standards-Based Grading or Decaying Averages. Maybe
you've heard of one of them. But in combination, they completely transform how you and your
students approach math education to make it more understandable. Through this system,
students take ownership of their learning and are BEGGING to have another chance at proving
what they can do.
Is this for data and standards wonks? Yeah, a little... But you can too!
Interest Level: Grades 6 - 12
