  13. Zoo School PLC • The zoo school teacher were encountering a problem with standard based grading and desired to learn more about this new concept • Emailed the following questions: • What specific questions do you have regarding Standard Based Grading? What do you hope to learn and/or apply to improve or change your current grading practices? • Once professional development is planned, what specific objective (s) do you hope will be accomplished regarding standard based grading? What specific needs do you hope will be achieved/addressed though professional development on standard based grading • Based on these responses, we were able to coordinate with our literacy coach to draft a training for these teachers. Training took place in September of 2011
