To Answer Questions About Grading [S2 E53]
THIS EPISODE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:
It’s time to answer YOUR big questions about grading. This week, Amanda and Marie take you through their grading policies, late work policies, and approaches to resubmissions. This is a walk through of what we do in our real-time classrooms and practical advice for how you might approach or redesign your own policies.
A few big takeaways:
Whatever your policy: teach it to your kids over and over again.
Utilize as few categories in the gradebook as possible
I’d rather offer an extension than argue about “late work”
Being real with kids about being human is important
It’s okay for kids to learn things at their own pace, but we need to think about if it’s really okay to turn work in whenever they want.
