Abstract: As grading reform efforts such as standards-based grading and grading for equity gain popularity, school leaders play a key role in supporting mathematics teachers' implementation efforts. This paper will describe what mathematics leaders need to know about grading reform and what mathematics leaders should do to support teachers in implementing grading reform. By developing teachers’ deeper understanding of curriculum, instruction, and assessment, assisting teachers in shifting mindsets from quantifying to qualifying learning, and improving math proficiency communication, leaders can better navigate grading reform in their schools. With proper support and guidance, teachers can assign grades that better reflect students' mathematical knowledge and skills.
