Standards-Based Grading (SBG) has many potential benefits for students, since it gives them multiple opportunities to demonstrate their understanding and doesn’t penalize taking longer to learn something. However, since most students have only experienced points-based grading in math courses, they are often wary of and confused by SBG. In this presentation, I’ll discuss how I introduce SBG on the first day of class, using small group discussions to help them identify issues with traditional grading and understand the benefits of SBG. This presentation is intended to be useful both for those already using SBG and those interested in learning more about it.
