SBGR, or Standards Based Grading and Reporting, is an educational approach that focuses on evaluating students' understanding of specific concepts through predefined standards or objectives. Unlike traditional grading systems that rely on letter grades, SBGR reports progress based on these established learning standards, offering a more consistent and clear framework for assessment across all learners in a classroom. The process is primarily instructor-led, with educators actively collaborating with students to ensure they achieve the necessary standards and enhance their mastery of the subject matter. This method emphasizes a deeper understanding of the material rather than simply achieving a particular grade.
One of the key advantages of SBGR is that it promotes accountability for both learners and instructors, fostering a more transparent and goal-oriented learning environment. It provides detailed feedback, which helps students improve their overall mastery of the content. Additionally, this system encourages self-motivation among learners, as they are more aware of their progress and areas needing improvement. Another significant benefit is the ability to easily track each student's mastery of the standards, allowing for more personalized and effective teaching strategies. Overall, SBGR supports a more comprehensive and meaningful educational experience.

You cannot delete a sample criteria initially when no objectives are picked for that rubric. Once you add an objective, the trash icon will appear for the criteria for deletion. Although, the text - "Sample Criteria" is configurable at site-level and can be changed on request.

The descriptor for the rubric criterion is non-editable by default, but can be configured as editable from Teamie's end on request.
