Grading Policy



  • Grading Policy


    Students will be evaluated on their performance in class activities, as well as completion of classwork and tests. If a student is absent, they will receive extra time to make up their work. At the end of the marking period, a standards-based report card will be given. The students will be evaluated using the following scale:


    1 = Not Yet Proficient
    2 = Approaching Proficient
    3 = Proficient
    4 = Advanced


    The following baking analogy may give you a better understanding of how standards based reporting works.

     

    1 - The student has all of the materials to bake cupcakes but doesn't know what to do with the materials.
    2 - The student has the materials to bake cupcakes but needs some help from someone to get started.
    3 - The student has the materials and understands how to make and bake cupcakes. The student bakes cupcakes.
    4 - The student has decided to do something completely different with the cupcake mix and makes a birthday cake instead. The cake has a written saying and candles have been added. He/she understood the directions but went above and beyond what was asked of them.
