DON'T INCLUDE ZEROS IN GRADE DETERMINATION
Questions to Ponder
Questions to Ponder
When we place zeros in a grade, does that reflect a students level of achievement or the effort put forth?
How else could we report a zero to a parent? Could students be involved in creating this process?

I guess I am not ready to make this transition yet. One of the aspect of traditional grading that I am having trouble letting go.
