Join us for an inspiring, practical look into one California school’s multi-year shift toward standards-based grading. In this interactive webinar, a panel of educators will share hard-won lessons, honest reflections, and real strategies from their journey.

You’ll discover how intentional, manageable changes can spark deeper learning and reshape your approach to assessment, without overwhelming staff or students.

You’ll leave with insights on:

  • Realistic Timelines – How to roll out changes across multiple years without overwhelming staff or students.
  • Authentic Assessments – How thoughtful grading can set students up for success beyond this year.
  • Intentional Leadership – How forward-thinking leaders drive progress and focus on achievable steps.

This interactive discussion will also include time for your questions. Be sure to submit one when you register!
