Standards Based Grading and the Digital Student Portfolio

• In Event: SMT - Teachers and Technology: Untilzing Resources to Improve Practice

Short Description

Standards based grading provides students with real feedback about their level of performance and supports a personalized learning environment. Using a digital portfolio allows a teacher to keep resources and guiding information in one place. Students use their portfolio to compile evidence that demonstrate their level of mastery of the course objectives. This strategy will help transform the classroom from teacher-centered to student-centered while maintaining direction and support for learning.
