[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Worse than the rolling gradebook is the required 7 assignments. Teachers spend a lot of time just trying to collect work from students to meet that goal. There's no research for that either. School board members get some emails and phone calls from a couple of squeaky wheels and start making radical changes without any kind of research. That's the problem with a school board run by politicians who are just looking for a stepping stone to another office.[/quote] Seven a quarter is nothing [/quote] The rolling gradebook seems to discourage more than the minimum number of grades, meaning every grade is now much higher stakes. If there are only 8 summative assignments given in a year is that really giving an accurate picture of performance for all students? Those 8 assignments make up 70 percent of the grade with current grading policy. [/quote]
