Grading Committee Report May 14, 2015

Purposes of Grading We believe the purposes of grades are to:  Communicate achievement status of students to parents and others  Provide information that students can use for self-evaluation  Evaluate the effectiveness of instructional programs  Use for instructional purposes – clarify learning goals, indicate students’ strengths & weaknesses, provide information about students’ personal/social development, and for some students, contribute to motivation

Additional Uses of Grades  to determine promotion, graduation, and athletic eligibility  to award honors  to report to other schools and prospective employers  to inform college acceptance, scholarships and vocational plans

Guiding Principles  Grades represent what students know, understand, and can do.  Grading procedures allow students to recover from initial failure, e.g. non-graded formative assessments, re-testing (the highest of the grades is counted).  Grading procedures minimize the impact of late assignments, homework, behaviors, work habits, effort, attitude, etc.  Grades make mathematical sense.  Grading is defensible and credible.

Required changes 1.All middle and high schools will use the 10-point grading scale: A 80-89B 70-79C 60-69D <60F 2.PLCs, grade levels and/or departments must agree on and use the same grading procedures. 3. GPA Calculation change (HS only)

Optional  Standards-based grading (with conversion to 100 pt. scale for Power School purposes)
