Transitioning to standards-based grading doesn’t require a complete overhaul—just intentional first steps. This session focuses on practical, manageable ways schools and teachers can begin implementation with clarity and confidence. Participants will explore early decisions around standards, assessment, feedback, and grading practices, along with common challenges and how to navigate them. Emphasis will be placed on building shared understanding, maintaining consistency, and keeping students at the center of the work. Attendees will leave with concrete starting points they can apply immediately in their classrooms or buildings.
