Standards-Based Grading Proficiency Scale

As our current grade book is set up, ALL proficiency scores will have to be translated into a percent-based score. However, the feedback given on individual assignments, especially assessments will also include a 4 point system to identify your level of mastery of specifically identified learnign standards. This information can be used to better identify your strengths and struggles, so we can better support your learning.
