Communicate:
The Communication tab contains information about grading and reporting. Standards based grading requires authentic grading that is not muddled by outside factors like attendance, timeliness, participation, etc. Grades should be separated into 2 groups: academic and habits of learning. The grading software, jump rope, helps teachers to easily achieve this. Using targets and scales to assess work has made grades less final and has transformed them into teaching tools. Targets show progress throughout a unit or the entire year and hopefully show growth.
