What Is Standards-Based Grading? Standards-based grading, sometimes called proficiency grading, is a method for teachers to measure how students are doing in meeting the learning goals for their grade as determined by their stateâs standards.
A standard is an ideal or set of criteria that you use to judge things against. Colleges have certain standards for applicants, like a minimum SAT score or an above average grade point average. If you complain that the soup isn't up to your standard, you're comparing it to an ideal and finding it lacking. (Just don't be surprised if the chef then accidentally spills it in your lap.) The economy used to work by the gold standard, where one dollar equaled a fixed amount of gold.
