, gaining significant traction in the K-12 system is standards-based grading. With standards-based grading, grading is based upon “measuring students’proficiency on well-defined course objectives.” [1] Instead of arbitrary grading scales, studentsare assessed multiple times regarding their performance on course outcomes. By doing this,there is an increase in student engagement and a more thorough comprehension of coursematerials. [2] Standards Based grading focuses on the specific, relevant skills a student shouldlearn and helps instructors to assess how well students are learning and tailor their teaching tomeet areas of concern. [3] By measuring these goals, students continue to learn. By usingrubrics to articulate these goals, students can use
