  Case: Transitioning from Standards Based to Numerical Grades
Going from second to third grade is such a big transition. Up until now, students and parents have only been exposed to one form a grading, which is standards based. All of a sudden, the work load changes, and they way students are assessed is more intense. For some, this is the first time a parent may see a F on their child's assignment, or report card, in their entire life. What are some ways to make this transition a bit smoother?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Last year, my former high school went from traditional grading to standards based grading. This was such a change for parents and students, that we had to put basically two grades on all assignments, It was not that much more effort on my part to put two grades or to have rubrics with both standards based grades ad traditional grades so it is clear for students and parents what the grade represents. It cut down on so many students asking me questions about their grade and maybe it would help parents understand the grades.

Comments: I don't know a lot about the differences of the two grading types but I feel like this would help parent understand the grades and not overreact.
