this is great!!!!

this is a great way to modify the grading system. First, it is in line with his IEP goals so as a parent you get an accurate picture of where he is at. Secondly it is a measurable goal so that the teachers and administrators have a clear way of showing
AYP (annual yearly progress - for those that are under the NCLB law - you are in US right?). This is very important to teachers and administrators who are being held accountable and must have concrete ways of showing this. You know you are on the right track when you can see the correlation between benchmarks, IEP's and grading. Give yourself and your school a pat on the back!! You are really on the right path.
