Grant Wood AEA to Host Standards-Based Grading Conference in March

Grant Wood AEA is hosted a standards-based grading conference on March 30, 2015. This conference is designed to help educators learn how to effectively develop/design and implement a standards-based grading (SBG) system that aligns with current instruction and assessment practices and supports the Iowa Core and Iowa’s Competency-Based Education model. The keynote speaker will be ASCD author Dr. Cathy Vatterott. In addition, classroom practitioners from across the state will share resources and practices that have led to successful implementation. Nearly 250 educators attended a similar conference in Iowa in 2013 and the feedback received was extremely positive. Registration is $20 and includes lunch. Details are available here.
