    Our on-line grading is set to apply a 50 to any "missing" assignments. It's virtually impossible to fail my classes unless a student hands NOTHING in. That way it's on them. Make an attempt and hand something in, I have something to gauge progress, and we're good. #bfc530

    The district does not guide grades. For homework/classwork, I give completion grades only. 100% for complete, 90% if late, 0% if they do not do it. They can turn in work late anytime before end of the grading period. #bfc530
  • kmurfitt1 Jun 18 @ 5:39 AM EDT
    Students are assessed for mastery. So, homework is not graded. The problem can be very few grades. Also without a lot of feedback to students, they never really know how they are doing. #bfc530
  • DebbiSab Jun 18 @ 5:39 AM EDT
    I had a kid once who was in my game development class all year and when he realized he didn't need the credit to graduate he stop working all together...I still just gave him a 50 but he earned a 0 last 2 marking periods.... #bfc530

    I never give less than a 50 on a test or quiz. The student DOES see the actual percentage (ie 35%) so they will know the gravity of the situation, but never want one grade to become unconquerable to recover. #bfc530

    Some students get mad at me for only reducing grades once (ie 10 points) for late projects no matter how late. My response 1) Your grade is unaffected by how many pts I deduct from them 2) The activity is worth completing, so why discourage it by reducing multiple times #bfc530

    When I taught middle school our formative assignments didn’t count in their grade, only summatives. Students learned quickly if they didn’t do the formatives that summative was almost impossible. We were moving towards mastery based grading at that time. They have now. #bfc530
  • ACTforEducation Jun 18 @ 5:54 AM EDT

    Perfect! Averaging the learning process doesn't make sense. Once I had a 7th grade S who could barely read. He failed for over half the year. But with work he learned to read & finally got passing grades. I was so happy, but the school failed him because of his average #bfc530

      At what point do you cut off though? We have teachers with grades due Friday, kids handing in 10 late assignments on Thursday. Is it still really worth doing 3-4 weeks later? Especially if they are only doing as fast as possible to avoid failing? It’s a question I struggle with

    You're right. And it adds to a teacher's already huge workload. If students hand in unsatisfactory work at the last minute, I think TS can refuse to grade it. Ss should know that Ts won't work harder than they do. #bfc530

    My district is large, including 38 HSs, so each school can determine their own. My school suggests standards-based. Here's my breakdown: 35% projects 35% tests/quizzes 10% classwork 10% HW 10% professionalism Zeros if present. Retake quizzes 1x after school. #bfc530

    Agreed. Failing is sometimes a part of the learning process not an opportunity for educators to blame themselves. It's a student's growth we are responsible for. That's the really important metric. #bfc530
