Osceola Middle School: A Parent’s Guide To Standards Based Grading
At OMS, we envision a student/parent-friendly report card with clearly defined learning targets aligned to high quality, balanced assessments that will bridge our elementary and high school grading formats. Our standards-based report card seeks to provide meaningful feedback so students and parents can track academic progress toward the mastery of essential learning targets, reflect upon strengths and areas in need of improvement.
What is standards-based grading?
Standards-based grading (SBG), also known as Grading for Learning, communicates how students are performing on essential learning targets that are created from the Wisconsin Academic Standards. The purpose of standards-based grading is to identify what a student knows, or is able to do, in relation to pre-established learning targets, as opposed to simply averaging grades/scores over the course of a grading period, which can mask what a student has learned, or not learned, in a specific course.
