Grading


Grading

Students generally receive one major summative grade per topic.  Sometimes students take a test to show mastery and sometimes they create a product such as a webpage, WeVideo, or presentation.  Students test when ready.  If students need an extension of the due date, it must be communicated to me at least one day prior, longer for long-term assignments.  If you see a grade of 0% in ParentVue, it indicates that your child is falling behind.  I enter zeros when the deadline is reached, but the zero will be replaced as soon as your child makes up the work.

Project grades - Students complete a project approximately once per quarter.  This project allows for student choice in design and implementation.  It can be revised based on feedback if the student submits it on-time.  Late work may not be revised for a higher grade.

Quarterly exam - Each quarter, an exam is given to test the student's mastery and retention of skills.  It includes a few questions from each learning target covered during that quarter, plus the assigned roots and affixes.
