French/Spanish Grading Procedures
Homework – considered formative and is not graded, however Powerschool will show a "MISSING" or "TURNED IN" for informational purposes only
*TURNED IN - Homework is turned in at the beginning of class and completely complete
* MISSING - If homework is incomplete, a student is not permitted to take a retake quiz until the homework is turned in
* Homework is practice! If you are not practicing, you may not be able to show comptency. You may take a retake after all homework that applies to the subject matter is turned in.
* All students have 7 days from their return date to hand in H.W. for "TURNED IN" - Afterwards, the above grading applies.
Assessmentss – 100% of grade
* Written (Language Control), Listening (Interpretive) and Speaking (Interpersonal) assessments will be given periodically throughout units
* In order to be successful, these must be studied for and the language must be practiced – everything is in your notes and we practice a lot in class!
* Students that receive below an 80% may take a retake, however resubmit work must be turned in prior to the retake. If the new grade falls below an 80, but is higher than the first grade, the student will be given the new grade outright.
Competency Based Grading
Because French and Spanish are compency based, the students must exhibit competency in the standard being assessed. They may continue to try to improve and demonstrate their competence if their grade is below 80%. Extra Credit work is not a viable substitute for speaking, understanding or writing in a world language. Students will receive a traditional grade (0-100%) and a competency grade (1-4)
