I use a standards based grading policy based on the Dept of Knowledge Rubric set out by the Common Core Standards. This scale ranges from 1 to 4, a 4 meaning they have demonstrated consistent mastery of the standard.
1) An understanding of what the standard is asking for but is inconstant in fluency AND conceptual understanding 2) An understanding of what the standard is asking for but is inconstant in fluency OR conceptual understanding 3) An understanding of what the standard is asking and is constant in fluency and conceptual understanding 4) An understanding of what the standard is asking for and is inconstant in fluency and conceptual understanding. Also the student can independently apply the use of this knowledge in problem solving situations. Homework will be posted on Edmodo and needs to be finished by the end of the trimester. I WILL except late work without penalty but must be turned in by the end of the trimester. All write work must be turned in through the Edmodo page. The goal is to have our scholars do the homework because they want to not because they have to. Snapshots: Snapshots are a short standardized quiz found on the Edmodo website and are intended to measure fluency and concept but not application of the standard. A perfect score of a Snapshot will only be a 3 on the 4 point scale Projects: There will be several projects we will be doing through out the year these projects are the best opportunity to get a 4. Project information will be posted on Edmodo |
