We will be using this for CANVAS for our Learning Management System. So, students will need to check it for announcements, assignments, and other content throughout the school week. If they are absent, this is the first place to check for missed work.
Traditional letter or numerical grades do not provide adequate documentation of student achievement in competency-based education; therefore, the Virginia Standards require that a student competency record be kept to track their progress. Ratings are assigned by the teacher for each competency as it is evaluated. Students must achieve a satisfactory rating on at least 80% of the competencies in a CTE course.
