WEBINAR
September 22, 2025 | 10:00 AM CT
When grades are used to control behavior, real learning takes a back seat. In this session, education leaders will examine how traditional grading practices often undermine student growth. They'll also explore how shifting to standards-based grading can create systems that promote responsibility, clarity, and meaningful progress.
Learn how to lead the change toward practices that support both teachers and students in owning the learning process.
Key Takeaways:
- 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
