The Department of Education said they “would like to invite parents to learn more about Standards-Based Grading, which is being introduced throughout the public education system from the primary through senior school levels.
The announcement said, “Standards-Based Grading will lead to more focused teaching and improved grading practices for the benefit of all students.
“The Department of Education will therefore be holding an ‘Introduction to Standards-Based Grading Parent Engagement Session’ on Wednesday November 30th from 5:45 p.m. to 7:15 p.m at the CedarBridge Academy Cafetorium.
“At this session, parents will learn how Standards-Based Grading will result in:

- Better assessment design
- More transparency and accountability
“All parents, parent council and PTA members are welcome.”
