Implement Equitable Grading Practices
Standards-based grading language describes learning as a process and that students are all growing. Grades should indicate student performance relative to learning expectations. Forefront helps you collect and visualize this evidence to describe a student's journey along learning progressions.
Focus on learning
Students need multiple opportunities to demonstrate understanding. Allow students to provide additional revisions and refinements on their assignments. Provide meaningful feedback. These strategies emphasize that learning is a process and promote growth mindsets. Forefront helps you collect and make sense of this information as student learning evolves over time.
focus on growth
Traditional grading paradigms use averaging techniques and weighted averages. These systems give more importance to some types of assignments and less importance to others. These weighing systems do not align with the ability for students to demonstrate understanding. Forefront emphasizes more recent evidence of student learning to highlight growth, rather than past performance.
Report card alignment
Align standards-based learning information to your report cards. Teachers can use their own judgement to override performance information from Forefront, putting teachers at the center of efforts to understand and report out student learning information.
