Resources to Support Standards-Based Learning

Many school teams across Southeast Polk are implementing practices to support standards-based learning and standards-referenced grading.  It has been exciting to observe, listen, and learn from these stories of implementation and the positive impact on student learning and rich communication opportunities with parents and guardians.

There is a Google site that the Grading and Reporting Leadership Team has been using to house documents, meeting agendas and minutes, articles, and resources.  We are now sharing this site district wide and using this as a location to share resources and ideas. The link to this site is found below.



The left menu bar of this site is organized around the work groups of the Grading and Reporting Leadership Team.  There are links to Assessments and Proficiency Scales, Behavior Reporting, Communication, Feedback, and Letter Grades and Reporting.






Each of the work groups has been developing examples and resources to support teams in implementing practices to support standards-based learning.  These examples may include forms, handouts, booklets, pictures, videos, and student examples. 

These resources may be found on the "Resources" tab, and they are organized by examples from High School, Grades 6-8, and Elementary.



As you meet in your collaborative teams, we encourage you to review the examples for your grade/subject level.  You may want to try some of the resources, or you may want to adapt some of them to meet the needs of your students.


A big thank you to the teacher leaders on the work groups of the Grading and Reporting Leadership Team.  We know that many of you have artifacts from your own implementation.  The intent of this site is to share examples and resources across the district.  If you have any to share, please share them with me and I will add them to this Google site. 

The impact of your work on student learning is exciting!  You are invited to continue to share these experiences so we can share these across the district.
