Dunbar Transitioning to Standards Based Grading
Paul Laurence Dunbar High School is transitioning from a traditional grading model to a standards based model. Principal Betsy Rains explains why the move is beneficial for students, and teachers describe how the new model is working in their classrooms.
So how are students going to do well on tests next year if they have no motivation to do their homework? If homework counts for zero percent of their grade, then most won’t do it and will fail their tests.
