Shifting Grading Norms for Student Success

Teachers discuss the shift from traditional grading practices to standards-based grading, aiming to provide more opportunities for student success. By moving towards standards-based grading and a no zero policy, educators create a more supportive environment where students focus on learning and growth rather than just grades. This shift encourages students to progress towards mastery and helps prevent disheartenment among those who may struggle academically.
