15. Why standards-based grading?
It is considered best-practice because standards:
Clearly communicate the learning target
Allow for targeted feedback to support learning
Encourage a growth mindset
Promote intrinsic motivation toward learning
Traditional grading
Grades tend to demotivate rather than motivate
Sources: Boaler, Dweck, and Dueck
