Finally! A Tool that Makes Proficiency Based Grading Work!
Why SmartScore™?
SmartScore™ was built from the ground up as a standards/proficiency based scoring and reporting system. Other systems try to "tack on" features that require teachers to convert everything to points. That's not how proficiency works!
Want letter grades? SmartScore™ integrates optional letter grades that make sense. To get an A (or B, or C), students must demonstrate performance (defined by you), not accumulate "points" that may or may not be related to the subject area.
