No one was allowed to say “Mogadishu”

They had to say “the suck”

But in school, we need a name for the problem.

Mariposa USD Universal Grading Guidelines

Providing a consistent experience for our

students and parents

8/20/14

Why?

We should provide

a smooth gradebook

experience district wide

from K-12

TK 12

To allow for circumstances where a student is genuinely unable to make a request in advance of making a late submission, there will be a delay of seven days before a penalty is applied. A student may submit details of mitigating circumstances during that time, with as much detail as possible and supporting documents where appropriate. If illness is the reason for the late submission a doctor’s letter is always required. Mitigating circumstances must relate to unforeseen and unavoidable events occurring on (or about) the day of submission. If suitable mitigating circumstances are not presented by the student within the time allowed, the policy requires that marks be deducted as follows: ! Up to 24 hours late, loss of 5% of the mark awarded; ! Between 1 day and 7 days late, loss of 10% of the mark awarded; ! Between 8 days and 14 days late, loss of 15% of the mark awarded; ! Between 15 days and 21 days late, loss of 20% of the mark awarded; ! More than 21 days late, work disallowed.

Policy on late workEach student will have a total of 4 free late (calendar) days applicable to any assignment (including the lit review and project milestone) except the final project paper. These can be used at any time, no questions asked. Each 24 hours or part thereof that a homework is late uses up one full late day. Once these late days are exhausted, any homework turned in late will be penalized 20% per late day. Late days are not applicable to final projects.

Some instructors penalize any late paper that is not justified by a documented illness or other acceptable excuse. Some allow students to hand in one late paper without penalty, if the student informs the instructor in writing before the paper is due and turns the paper in within a week or by a specified extended deadline. Others allow one "excused" late paper but penalize additional late papers up to a full grade per day. Penalties range from a third of a grade per calendar day or class day to a full grade per day late. In no case should a penalty exceed more than one grade per day. Also, penalties should be applied consistently throughout the quarter for all students.

Why?

For top performance,

we must lower our

students’ affectivefilter

Why?

We must provide feedback

to affect a response.

Grading is that feedback.

If the grade is only at the end, kids do not change and adapt in time

1. Grades should typically be updated online once a week.

Students and parents need routine feedback.

Larger projects may take longer to grade.

2. As a guideline, classwork and homework should equal approximately 60% of a student grade, with tests and quizzes comprising the rest.

Some models might include: 60/40 or 30/30/40 or 30/30/20/20, with a balanced approach that doesn’t overrate either tests or classwork/homework.

3. Coding: AB, INC, MI

These codes will give parents more information when they access grades.

Grade 4 and up

4. Late work: missing assignments should be marked at a maximum of 70%, losing 10% point value per week, until the trimester or quarter ends.

At the end of a grading period (quarter or trimester), the score becomes permanent.

*In class assignments may be given a “no makeup” option - these are typically completed in less than one class.

5. In the place of “extra credit”, meaning additional work done outside the normal scope of class, students should be able to earn bonus points for finishing and turning in work before established deadlines.

This encourages students to finish their work early and have time for feedback before the assignment is due.

The idea is to get kids finishing work earlier and not have the option of raising a grade at the “last second”

6. Emails or messages from parents or students regarding grades should be returned within three business days.

Ideally, answers will happen in one business day - but sometimes folks are busy with projects and events.

The Cat's Diary

Day 983 of My Captivity

    My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

      The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt todisgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.

    There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
