Mastery Learning and Grading
Mastery Learning and Grading
To address and meet the diverse learning needs of all students, this course and grading policy is designed to emphasize student growth and progress towards mastery of the course learning targets. Students will be provided multiple opportunities, in the form of formative assessments, to demonstrate growth and progress towards mastery of selected standards. Therefore, I will continuously check for understanding during virtual instruction, and I will provide specific, descriptive, actionable feedback based on rubrics, so that students will know what, why, and how to improve on the learning targets. Demonstrating mastery of the learning targets occur in a teaching and learning cycle illustrated below:

Why Mastery Grading
Why Mastery Grading
Mastery grading gives us a more accurate assessment of what students know and provides a growth-mindset in students. Mastery grading is also more fair to students and more consistent across content and grade levels. It is my goal that students show improvement toward mastery throughout the multiple opportunities that I will provide for them to demonstrate their knowledge and skills.
Late Work Grading Policy
Late Work Grading Policy
All assignments must be submitted on time in order for the Teacher to grade and provide proper feedback to assure that the student has met the Success Criteria. If an assignment is submitted late, it is up to the student to notify the teacher through the Google Form below. If the assignment has been submitted late, but the form has not been filled out, then there is not a guarantee the assignment will be graded.
