 This was co
 pied directly from the website:  \" A desire for fairness and uniformity
  in grading prompted one district to make a big change. Districts across 
 the country have made strides toward grading reform\, often landing on som
 e version of standards-based grading. Naysayers claim it’s just a trend 
 in education\, proponents say it’s an innovation\, but both are left wit
 h the question: How do we actually implement a new system and make meanin
 gful changes? It’s simple—you’ve got to start with the root of the 
 problem. Dive into grade books\, and it won’t take you long to uncover t
 he discrepancies among teachers who teach the exact same course. Grading i
 s uniformly an inconsistent practice\, which can be radically different fr
 om teacher to teacher. For example\, we easily uncovered grade book inequ
 ities such as a student in teacher A’s class performing identically to a
  student in teacher B’s class on tests measuring standards. However\, th
 e students’ grades differed from a C to an A because of how categories w
 ere weighted and how the points were arbitrarily assigned. When you cannot
  stand by grading practices such as these\, you can begin the process of j
 ustifying the Herculean task of altering them.
 Fargo Public Schools in N
 orth Dakota set out to find a practical model and implement it. The distri
 ct established a strategic plan with an initiative to create a guaranteed 
 and viable curriculum that is both comprehensive and equitable.\"
