What is Equitable Learning and Grading?

• In this class your academic grade will be calculated with something called Equitable Grading and Instruction (EGI). This is a standards-based grading system. 

• Your academic grade will be based on how well you master specific “learning targets” that are based on the state standards. 

• Each learning target will have one or more assessments that gives you the chance to demonstrate how well you have mastered that learning target. Remember, assessments can be tests, projects, etc. 

• Your grade is a reflection of what you have learned, and you can retake or redo any assessment if you want to  better demonstrate your understanding. If you want to retake a test, you will need to complete test corrections, make up any missed work, and complete additional practice before you are given a retake assessment. 

• You will still be assigned homework and class work, however these assignments will not impact your academic grade in this class. Instead, your homework and classwork will count towards your work habits grade.
