Student learning is complex. Forefront handles the complexity of standards-based grading to transform the information already in your K-8 classrooms into meaningful pictures of student learning.

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 on their assignments and provide meaningful feedback.
