5. Now, grades on SIS are
• Communication about student’s progress
on the common core standards.
• Specific, based on scoring guides, about
where a student can improve skills.
• Encouraging, rather than punishing: late
work penalties and extra credit are extinct.
• The only way to make up for not doing the
work is by doing the work.
