That is a great question!! I think it would depend on your district’s policy. In mine, we would not be allowed to do that. However, we could add comments to the report card, but for each standard, we’d report what the student earned on that grade level standard.

I have a question concerning growth mindset and grading. For the academically gifted student in a classroom of students with less capability/skill, is it appropriate to assign that student a grade reflecting one’s own goals for that particular student? For instance: the gifted student easily can make an A on the material assessment. . . I decide the student needs more challenge, so I set a different subjective standard for this student and give the student a B to attempt to nudge him or her towards growth mindset. (I am not providing more challenging material, just harder for them to earn that A than before in my own mind.) Is this appropriate? Furthermore, is it okay to do this without the student’s or the student’s parents’/guardians’ consent? At one point does this cross the bounds from “growth mindset” to actual academic gaslighting?
