Quiz: what are the defining characteristics of a standards-based grading
system?
Ans: Standards-based grading is built around achievement level goals that are
based on content-specific benchmarks within academic subjects. A standards-
based approach differs from traditional approaches that are built around an
average percentage of assignments, letter grades, or students' rank of
performance against the rest of the class. A standards-based system is highly
beneficial to the student because teaching and learning can be fine-tuned to
the needs of each student rather than only a portion of students in any given
classroom.
