Global Scholar's Standards-Based Grade Book
- Grades are meant to communicate a student's progress toward an academic goal; the grade book and GO2 support that communication between teachers, parents, students, instructional coaches, and administrators by providing a starting place for conversations
- The grade book is a tool for collecting evidence so we can have conversations around specific student data. We can use electronic tools like the grade book and GO2 to talk about instruction and assessment in relation to the data. The conversation then evolves into one about our response to the data as we cultivate a culture of learning within our schools and district.
