Ms. Melissa Bers » Grading policy

Grading policy

My grading policy is as follows:
90%-100% is an A
80%-89% is a B
70%-79% is a C
60-69% is a D
59% and below is a F
Formative assignments are worth 50% and are assignments that are done in class to show mastery of a skill.  These can include, but aren't limited to observation of students, checking for understanding, journals, data from guided practice, exit slips, etc.
Homework is worth 10%, which are assignments are sent home that weren't started in class and it's just a reinforcement of what was learned that day.
Summative assessments are worth 40% and include a culminating projects and end of unit tests, and quizzes
