- Basic Overview
- Grade Book: Update in a timely manner - if you don’t tell students how they are doing, they assume they have a 100. When they end up with a 42, they are angry. Avoid angry - update grades. (COMMUNICATE realistic expectations for when they can expect to see changes). The priority is to update gradebooks so that students have feedback prior to the summative assessment. Reasonableness and Fairness will be the operational practice of your gradebook. Academic empathy for your students is the central theme of how to approach grading - if this were YOUR child; what is best for THIS child; what is the END goal? Use gradebook as a communicative tool - missing function, comments are a communication piece - if a student has a grade changed on an assignment after a remediation opportunity, it should be noted as “original ##/retest##” to help families, counselors, and admin understand what is going on - non-negotiable 18 Week GOALS - Semester Breakdown Ideal Number of grades per 18 week grading period - semester: 12 Formative Assessments 6 Summative Assessments Includes Midterms and Finals - if the multiplier is double, it still counts as 1 summative (5 summatives and a midterm OR final) Planning for Feedback to improve student performance] Consistent Reporting of Student Progress- Accurate and Timely Gradebooks Remember, we encourage you to do what is best for the student. If you have questions or concerns about student grading, please speak to your success team (department admin/counselor) Grade Change Form: No longer a paper form Complete the survey - https://tinyurl.com/LHSGradeChange2019 Updated on Tuesdays See Admin or Dept Chair if you have questions
- You and your department/content team will discuss the grading policies and recovery opportunities. Consistency within content teams If one person allows for test recovery, then the team needs a plan to allow for the same point recovery ALSO, lead through the planning process to ensure student LEARNING, NOT gaming the system to gain POINTS CONSIDER the importance of reteaching the material prior to recovery AND the value of recovering the points within the unit MASTERY of standards, NOT end numbers Cumulative Improvement Process OR Cumulative Average Improvement Bandaid more fair/accurate than moment of assessment Plan for remediation/acceleration/celebration EMBEDDED in the calendar - PLANNING as the instructional framework GOAL vs. GOAT Student DRIVEN not teacher driven
- CONTACT EARLY! It is never too early to contact parents. You can call*, email (use the Infinite Campus or itsLearning email addresses), or schedule a conference. Please note: We realize that you may have a parent with an out of area phone number. You can reach these families from any phone in the main office, administrators’ offices, or in the counseling suite.
