To the right here is a presentation I made to accompany a speech I created for my Public Speaking class on Standards Based Grading vs Point Based Grading. My position on the topic is that Standards Based Grading is the most efficient and progressive method of grading. I relate this assignment to this specific 21st century skill because I believe and know that a lot of critical thinking went into the creation of Standards Based Grading and its value to the improvement of educational grading.
