Scores-based grading

Standards-based grading
Assessment of mastery throughout a term with the use of assignments and a gradebook; a final assessment is given at the end of the term based on the calculations of the assignments.
Skills-based grading

Narrative evaluation
Teachers/staff use narrative comments to evaluate and review student performance.
