Once the standards are defined, the rubrics act as a communication tool for a student’s level of performance and provide feedback and a path to reach mastery.

The greatest front work in the classroom for effectively launching SBG is defining standards and creating rubrics for them.

When teachers continuously understand students’ mastery, they can better adapt instruction to meet students’ needs. SBG causes education to be more effective and engaging. The grade book provides clear communication of students’ level of understanding on standards and clarifies what concepts the student needs help to master.

As students progress, they are offered more complex material, working their way up the rubric to mastery.

referring to time for reteaching and reassessment: "sets the foundational message that it values the time that individuals need to learn concepts, reducing anxiety and sending a clear message that the teacher values deeper learning over basic understanding"

SBG is similar to a staircase, with students climbing one step at a time...Teachers regularly provide feedback, reteach, and offer additional opportunities to reasses, so that every learner has the opportunity to reach the top.

SBG is similar to a staircase, with students climbing up one step at a time until they reach the top. After receiving instruction, some students progress immediately up the stairs, but others need more time.

SBG is powerful because it provides a framework to measure student progress regularly. When teachers continuously understand students’ mastery, they can better adapt instruction to meet students’ needs. SBG causes education to be more effective and engaging.

The deconstruction of the standards with appropriate learning targets is essential to this work. The learning targets need also demonstrate a progression of deeper levels to ensure mastery is occurring at high levels. Rubrics then need to be in alignment to the deconstructions and standards so we are progress monitoring towards mastery for students and able to provide specific skill based feedback.
