Understanding Grading
Through summative assessments, students demonstrate competency and transferrable skills. Timely completion of this work is essential and allows for reassessment - additional opportunities to experience growth and try again. To that end, additional formative work may be needed to fully prepare for reassessment.
Authenticity & Originality
The authenticity and originality of every summative must be documented with a “breadcrumb trail” to ensure its validity. Invalid submissions will not be accepted.
Posted along with detailed directions for each unique summative, rubrics offer learners specific performance goals.
Due dates for each summative will be posted in the weekly workflow for the associated course.
Failure to complete a summative assessment in a timely manner may result in a penalty and forfeiture of the opportunity to engage in reassessment. See the student handbook for more details.
As specified in the student handbook, it is the student's responsibility to initiate the request for reassessment within three school days from when the work is returned to the student.
Reassessment opportunities, procedures and dates will be posted in the weekly workflow at least three days prior to the deadline for requesting reassessment.
