[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]When is MCPS going to set some standard grading policies and practices[/b] across the county.  This is ridiculous.  Sometimes things are 59%, sometimes 0, sometimes things submitted in time are marked late depending on how teachers setup the assignment in canvas synergy, excused absence works shows late but with notes to account for the absence.  Teachers grading is all over the place with some enter grades within 48 hrs on assignments and others not entering grades for weeks.  Some assignment take a single submit outside of canvas, others a submit outside and inside canvas, others depends on teacher setup.

Students are close to end of quarter/semester and still have no clue what their actual grade is.[/quote]
Good news! MCPS has had them for many, many years and they are available on the website at https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/info/grading/report-cards-secondary.aspx

The website has last year's detailed guidance linked here: [url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V9ntFXUT3eOjSuYBlv_2-0npi1O4duayDmzQwmfkWzY/preview]Secondary Grading and Reporting Guidance 2021-2022[/url]

This year's document is here: [url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QPU96RTBXTGX8amR_E1m6XmmTDERXlKOYQPCAf_x9ns/edit?usp=sharing]Secondary Grading and Reporting Guidance 2022-23[/url] , but I think you have to be logged into an MCPS account (student gmail) to view it.[/quote]

Why would anyone need to be signed into a student MCPS account to review grading policies?? When is this going to be uniformly enforced amongst secondary schools?  And there is no mention as to how long teachers have to grade and return something, which I suspect make it a school level policy.  If so, then schools should supply the policy at the start of the year and enforce OR teachers should list in their course syllabus and display said syllabus on their canvas course page and operate by that.  As it stands now the quarter ends in one week and kids have no idea what they are getting in some classes, as work remains ungraded so show as possible points or 0 or 50% depending on teacher.    :roll: [/quote]
