[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Math teacher here-elementary math grades should NOT be taken from Sprints...since you said this isn't a sprint from Eureka, it REALLY shouldn't be graded then. The grading guidance from MCPS is pretty clear. Grades should only be coming from Mid/End of module and then topic quizzes. [/quote]

Thank you! Is that posted anywhere publicly where parents can see? Is it something I should complain about? In ParentVue they are labeled as “Multiplication Facts”, notably different from the exit tickets, topic quizzes, or mid/end of module assessments. I can’t tell how they are weighted in comparison, since all I see is a letter grade vs the points I see for my MS kid. [/quote]

Exit tickets should absolutely not be graded either. [b]I don't think the document is supposed to be shared publicly.[/b] I would contact your school's staff development teacher-they are the ones in charge of math.[/quote]
If they share it publicly, parents would be able to hold teachers to account vs. the variation seen across individual teachers & schools.  Teachers and schools need some flexibility, but with certain system-wide evaluations affecting the learning opportunities/experiences of individuals (e.g., CES, criteria-based MS magnets, application programs, etc.) there should be a way to ensure that the system is comparing apples to apples.[/quote]
