Grading is the rating assigned to an individual based on the evaluation of his learning. There are two main grading systems present in schools. In a percentage-based system, generally the scores for individual assignments and tests are recorded for each student in a grade book, along with the maximum number of points for each assignment. At any time, the total number of points for a student when divided by the total number of possible points produces a percent grade, which can be translated to a letter grade.In a Standards-Based grading system, students are graded as partially proficient, proficient, or advanced. The advantage is that students are not compared against each other, and all have the opportunity to pass the standard. Standards- based grades help teachers plan their instruction so they can challenge and support all students.
