The percentage method is intuitive and flexible for any grading scale. A standards-based grading scale often comprises categories ranging from below the standard to mastering it. These standards can be set at national, state, or school levels. With standards-based grading, you are still assessing as you typically would, but with each assessment, you are assigning it to a category. The district’s argument for the change-focusing on proficiency in standards-also sounds off-putting to him. Standards-based grading (SBG), or mastery-based grading, is a system that evaluates students’ progress toward mastering specific learning targets called standards. Brayden said teachers in the district make incremental progress each year under the current grading model, but that “doesn’t sound great in district newsletters” which he said can lead to a search for “splashy” alternatives. His school is not making the switch until 2023 at the earliest, but after hearing “mixed-reviews” from schools already piloting SBG, he said he would prefer to keep things as they are. Brayden isn’t tied to an A to F grading scale and said he would welcome a 1 to 4 scale if he received more information about the transition. Echoing the concerns of many teachers, Eric Brayden, a 12th grade government, economics, and AP Geography teacher at Capital High School in Santa Fe, said he worries the shift to SBG will create more headaches for teachers without addressing the district’s concern for failing students. Standards-Based Grading (SBG), also referred to as Mastery or Competency Grading, uses a different scale from the traditional 0-100 point grading scale. ![]()
