Leading for Learning: Rethinking Accountability Through Standards-Based Grading

When grades are used to control behavior, real learning takes a back seat. In this session, experts from FIRST Educational Resources examine how traditional grading practices often undermine student growth. They also explore how shifting to standards-based grading can create systems that promote responsibility, clarity, and meaningful progress.

In this session, you’ll:

  • Redefine accountability as student ownership—not compliance or control
  • Learn leadership strategies for implementing effective SBG practices
  • Discover how grading clarity strengthens instructional decisions and school culture

Learn how to lead the change toward practices that support both teachers and students in owning the learning process.
