[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here The rolling gradebook does make more sense mathematically. Every assignment counts equally which is more fair. However for a lot of students, they need the “fresh start” of a new quarter to reset themselves. They feel better knowing that they are starting from scratch and can get a completely new grade for the new quarter. It is purely psychological but it is true. The quarterly gradebook also helps to show trends. It’s very powerful to tell a kid - don’t worry about last quarter, look how well you’re doing this quarter. Again the end of year grade will be impacted by the first quarter, but there is something to be said for giving kids a fresh start[/quote] +1[/quote]
