[quote=Anonymous][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]

Wonderful.  Now where are the same for elementary?  The detailed guidance on what to grade and what should count as an A/B/etc.?  Elementary is where the school system uses grades to make judgements about opportunities (GT designation, CES, MS magnet placement, etc.) and, therefore, it is very important to have relative uniformity.  I only see report card templates on the site.[/quote]
