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.
