Grading guide: This is a standards-based grading class.

Standards-based guideline:

              Conversion of grade book body of evidence to letter             Used for
              grades.                                                         grade reports
                                                                              and
                                                                              transcripts.
              In a variety of assessments, the student consistently and
              independently achieves proficiency in grade level
              concepts/skills and demonstrates advanced                             A
              application/analysis when the opportunity exists.

              In a variety of assessments, the student achieves proficiency
              in grade level concepts/skills.                                       B
              With teacher or peer support, the student is able to achieve
              proficiency in grade level concepts/ skills.                          C

              The student demonstrates limited understanding/
              application of grade level concepts/skills and does not meet          D
              the identified goals at this time.
              The student rarely demonstrates understanding of grade
              level concepts/skills or there is insufficient evidence to            F
              accurately determine the proficiency level.


     Progress indicator: used in teacher grade book for individual assignments/assessments.
                                                 Advanced


                                                 Proficient

                                            Partially Proficient


                                               Unsatisfactory


                                          Unsatisfactory/Missing


       Capital letters: summative or “major” assignments/assessments
       Lower Case: formative or practice assignments/assessments

       (+)= denotes upper range within progress indicators
       ( -)= denotes lower range within progress indicators


       Classroom Behavior Expectations and Policies: Students are expected to adhere
       with the Classroom expectations, work cooperatively with peers in every group activity,

                                                      2
work independently on a given On Your own tasks and respect every individual in the
classroom.


Policies for Absences and Make-up work: Students who were absent must
complete their make-up work in 5 days following their return to school. They must
secure notes on the work missed from the absence packet or from their group
coordinator prior to scheduling a make-up session.

Other Policies:
          Hall passes: Each student is eligible for3 hall pass privilege for emergency
             purposes only. Student is expected to stay after class 1 minute thereafter
             as a replacement for using 4 or more pass privileges.
          Tardy Policy: Please see student handbook.
          Student who is caught cheating will automatically receive a rating of
             unsatisfactory on the assignment, and a discipline referral.
          Substitutes: In case the regular course teacher is out, students are
             expected to complete and finish the day’s class work. Any report
             submitted by the substitute to the regular teacher is final.
          Classroom managers selected for specific job assignment in the group are
             expected to perform their duty based on job description. The teacher
             reserves the right to provide a replacement for non-performance.
          Homework: Collection of homework is during the first 15 minutes of
             class.
          Students are expected to remain seated for the duration of the class
             period, unless otherwise instructed.
