[quote=Anonymous]APS and the School Board last night had their first working session to discuss setting a new grading policy by the end of this school year, with changes driven by equity concerns (based off of the book "Grading for Equity" by Joe Feldman, which 100+ at APS are reading right now and every SB member received a copy of last night). Some proposals include: a) Eliminating late penalties for turning in homework late b) Allowing retakes of tests c) Eliminating extra credit d) Having more ungraded formative assessments (and presumably less graded homework, classwork and labs) Here are the board slides: https://rb.gy/cl2icr And the working session video: https://www.apsva.us/school-board-meetings/school-board-work-sessions-meetings/ Thoughts? Anyone know about empirical results? Downsides?[/quote]
