To help offset the failing grade trend, educators from San Bernardino County met for part 1 of a 2-part grading summit on December 12. Reporter Andrew Dieleman says the second part of the grading summit will be held Friday…
Part 1 of the grading summit, hosted by San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools, brought together 90 district administrators, site leaders and classroom teachers to help identify barriers to current distance learning models through local grading data, best practices, and student and parent feedback. Part 2 of the summit will be used to create a series of potential solutions to the trend of failing grades that individual school district superintendents can select and implement. Part 2 of the summit is scheduled for January 8.
