COHORT 4

You may be familiar with standards-based grading, or your district has started to adopt standards-based grading already, and you may wonder, “ What does standards-based grading look like in the science classroom?” During this virtual session, we will walk you through and show examples of what the standards-based grading process looks like in a science classroom. You will explore how to select priority science standards, write clear and observable targets, align science targets to assessments, and how to assess using science standards effectively.
