ISO school leaders willing to reflect on beliefs/ practices related to #standardsbasedgrading (SBG) - especially schools with a percentage of staff who may be at least somewhat resistant to SBG. Reach me at [email protected]

Being efficient is only effective when efficiency is seen as a goal more important than being effective.

It's okay to be a bit less efficient if the way you're doing something is effective.

And sometimes, being effective means sacrificing some degree of efficiency.

SBG & SEL Principles are not mean to be a checklist that any teacher can simply adopt and have them "work". Principles are meant for teachers to adopt so they may adapt them to their personality and to that of the changing dynamics of their various classrooms of students.

"The majority of
superintendents are reading publications provided by professional and trade organizations rather than
peer-reviewed journals."

Educational Leadership, School Administrator, Education Week, and
The American School Board Journal are not peer-reviewed journals.
