grading+policy

1. Providing an assignment with a clear expectation in terms of requirements and grading. 2. Returning each assignment in a quick and fair fashion to allow the students to keep interest in the topic, and to allow them the opportunity to fix their mistakes while the lesson/ unit is still progressing. This will provide relevance for the assignment. 3. Periodic feedback on critical thinking assignments, and direction given to areas that are easily found and researched. 4. Grading assignments in a generalized method where students can easily follow their progress or demise daily. 5. If a student is failing, a call home, or email to the parents as well as the guidance counselor/ advisor would be needed to be sent out according to the school's policy. 6. Late work will be deducted based upon the school's policy for handing in late assignments. (a max of 50% loss of grade possible). 7. Students will be reminded daily about late assignments, and borderline quarter grades. 8. Extra credit opportunities will be available for students to participate in throughout the quarter.
