Grading Policy
Assessment and Grading:
The purpose of education is learning. The purpose of assessment is for the teacher to evaluate how much and how well you have learned the material as put forth in the NC standard course of study.
Your grade will be primarily based on the quizzes and tests. These assessments indicate how well you "know" the curriculum and your grade should be a reflection of your mastery of the curriculum. Your “homework”, in class assignments, and other projects will also be counted as a grade because they also show your mastery of the curriculum. If your grade is not as high as you would like it there are two things you can do to improve your grade. First, make sure all of the assignments are completed and turned in. Secondly, the quizzes and tests may be retaken to improve your grade. All assignments and assessments will be based on the specific goals and objectives that can be found on the North Carolina Department of Instruction website at the following address:http://www.dpi.state.nc.us/docs/acre/standards/new-standards/science/6-8.pdf
Overall Grading:
Homework/ Peer-self Reviews: 10%
Quizzes/ Labs/ Small Projects: 30%
Tests/Large Projects/ Genius Hour: 40%
Classwork/INB: 20%
Students will do in class assignments, quizzes, and tests to assess the student’s learning. Any work done is located in the INB. So do not lose this!
