General Expectations

Grades are based upon the demonstration of proficiency on units associated with a standard given
during each formative or summative assessment. Formative grades in addition to summative unit
assessments will be used to holistically determine your grade.

Summative: 80% Summative measures of achievement are taken when unit master is expected.
(i.e., unit tests, culmination of a project, embedded assessments, etc.)

Formative: 20% Formative assessments measure the scaffolding skills and/or content embedded
in the unit. Formative assessments are taken frequently, after a student has practiced a skill or become
familiar with content. Examples of formative assessments include but are not limited to exit tickets,
paragraphs, oral check for understanding, warm-ups, stages in a large project, etc.

Assessments will be graded based on teacher/district/state rubrics.

On group projects, students will receive a grade for individual work and a group grade.

Grades are based on achievement of Content Standards and Grade Level Expectations.

AVOID LATE ASSIGNMENTS! You will receive 60% for all late assignments. If you do not understand an assignment, come and see me for
help BEFORE it is due.

2. Food and Drink: Only non-distracting food and drinks are allowed. You will not be provided hall passes to purchase food and drinkget
these before you come to class. I determine when a food or drink is a distractionin that case it will be held for you at my desk until the end
of class.

before coming to class.

6. Plagiarism/Cheating: I begin the year with complete trust and faith in each of you. Please do not lower yourself in my eyes or, more
importantly, in your own, by cheating or being dishonest in any way. Plagiarism will result in a zero for the assignment.
