Grades measure a student’s mastery of the course content expectations. ?Purposes for Grading Students’ Work: Primary Purpose—Communicate achievement to students, parents, and others Secondary Purposes—Provide information that students can use for self-evaluation and growth, encourage student growth and progress in learning, Identify students for available educational opportunities (e.g., AP courses), Evaluate the effectiveness of curricular, instructional, assessment practices, and programs ?Assessment Categories:SUMMATIVE?assessments demonstrate the student’s knowledge of subject?after instruction. Summative assessments include tests, projects, products, and demonstrations.FORMATIVE? assessments? demonstrate? the? student’s? progress? in mastering content during the course? of? instruction.??? Formative assessments?? include??? homework, daily quizzes, and inquiry activities.These guidelines emphasize summative assessments.? The final grade is determined by at least 80% summative and at most 20% formative.Summative Assessment Retakes:Summative assessment retakes are available to all students, with the exception of AP classes, based on the following principles and process: Students in grades 9-12 may retake 50% of summative assignments per quarter. Each quarter will have approximately four summative assignments, students can retake two. The higher score is the only score of record.Students must follow the retake process: A written request by?the student including an explanation for requesting retake. The student’s demonstration of effort to attain mastery learning which includes test corrections and caught-up homework. Caught-up homework is defined as turning in at least 80% of formative assignments by their original due date and having all assignments turned in before the summative assessment. Formative assignments will still be accepted for a grade up to the date of the summative assessment but will not be considered part of the 80% if turned in after their original due date. Effort must be made on ALL formative assessments. Turning in incomplete work does not demonstrate an effort to attain mastery learning. If work is turned in uncompleted, it will not count towards the 80% of formative assignments turned in by their original due date and will have to be completed before the summative assessment to be eligible for a retake. The teacher’s approval for retake following steps 1 and 2. The student’s arranging with the teacher for the retake.? Completion?of the retake within a reasonable time (teacher discretion) frame, e.g., within 1.5 weeks of the original summative assessment. Retakes should be in a different format from the original summative assessment. End-of-semester exams cannot be retaken. Late Work, Missing Assignments, and Zeroes:?FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS: Assignments will be accepted until the time a summative assessment is given. At that time, all missing assignments will be given a zero. Work completed and turned in as part of the requirement for a Summative Retake, will be accepted, but not graded. SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTS: All assessments must be taken. Zeroes will only be given for summative assessments under the following conditions: The student earned a grade of zero on the assessment and did not qualify and/or chose not to retake the assessment and/or earned a grade of zero on the retake of the assessment. After given an opportunity to turn in or take the summative assessment at a later date due to circumstances, the student failed to do so.**This syllabus is subject to change (at the teacher’s discretion) at any time.**Parent contact information: I use these to keep in touch with you about your student not only for unpleasant situations, but for good things as well (A on test, great attitude/work ethic, improvement, etc.).
