-GRADING- We use Standards Based Grading in Unit 5. Below is the rubric that is used: 1: Beginning: Even with help, the student does not understand. 2: Progressing: The student is starting to get it but needs help or an example in front of them. 3: Proficient: The student can do the work on their own and show an example. 4: Exceptional: The student is very confident with the work and can teach someone else how to do it.
