A successful Oxford Middle School student is one who has demonstrates proficiency in subject area content, such as reading, writing, and mathematics, and also in the behaviors of a productive community member.
Instituting a Habits of Success grade conveys to students and the larger school community the importance of acquiring and habituating these behaviors. A separate Habits of Success grade allows a teacher to keep feedback on academic achievement separate from feedback on behavioral achievement while highlighting the importance of both.
Students will receive a final academic grade and a final Habits of Success grade at the end of the course.
The Habits of Success standard is a standard that appears in every class. This standard communicates the degree to which the student demonstrates behaviors such as owning their actions, modeling respect, and supporting others.
While non-academic factors may be highly valued and often contribute to academic achievement, they will be communicated separately from academic achievement.
