Episode 24: Reviewing your SBG progress and process

from The Fires in Grading · host Garth Larson, Becky Peppler, Don Smith

In this episode we explore why standards-based learning is never a “set it and forget it” process. Many schools assume that once standards are prioritized and learning targets are created, the work is complete—but in reality, this is where the real work begins. The team discusses the importance of regularly reviewing standards, proficiency scales, assessments, and gradebooks to ensure they remain aligned and meaningful. They also highlight common pitfalls schools encounter when they treat these tools as static documents rather than living parts of instruction. This episode offers practical guidance on building a sustainable review cycle that keeps clarity and student learning at the center. If your system is sitting in a binder instead of driving daily practice, this conversation is for you.Learn more about our sponsors: Otus: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://hubs.li/Q03StGb_0⁠⁠⁠⁠STAGR Center: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://firsteducation-us.com/stagr⁠⁠
