13. Report Cards Standards Based Grading
Odell Primary uses Standards Based Grading, as they have in the past. This video helps you understand the grading process and why kids "on grade level" will still receive "2s" on their report card. The entire standard has not been taught, so they will not receive a "3" until the entire standard is taught and they display mastery of the entire standard.
