Something else. We have reviewed several options and received feedback from several groups, but the reality is that in a standards-based system, if the student demonstrates proficiency, then they have met the learning target and/or standard. Students must “meet” every learning target for each power standard in order to meet the power standard (two reliable measures for each learning target, 3 to 5 LTs per standard). Subsequently, students must meet 70% of the power standards for the subject area in order to pass. The grading scale starts there for both elementary and secondary.
