Standards Based Grading: Is it fair?
- Who:
- Kristen Swanson, Mike Ritzius
- When:

- Where:
- Room 301

Learning targets are compartmentalized and evaluated according to achievement only. Is this where we want to take our students? Or is this simply another grading fad that must disappear before we can truly encourage internal, authentic motivation?
