Each year, we deliver a parent session on the why’s, ins, and outs of Standards Based Reporting. We have found that the sessions are helpful each year for parents new to this form of reporting and more accustomed to traditional grading practices, like averaging, percentages, and letter grades (A-F).
Of course, not all of our community is able to attend sessions offered during the work day and our attempts to offer evening sessions have been poorly attended (it’s hard to leave family after a long work day to join a school session).
For this reason, we’ve prepared the video below with slides and audio to take parents through the general ideas around Standards Based Reporting and why ISB and so many schools favor it over traditional practices.
Apologies in advance for the minimal effects or production value. The goal was simply to provide information and explanation in a direct and straightforward manner.
