[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I admit I don’t use the Z in my gradebook.  To my knowledge the Z is supposed to be a placeholder that says a student didn’t turn in an assignment but still can until the deadline.  I avoid that by not syncing my grades until the deadline passes.  If you did it the grade shows, if you didn’t its a zero.  I basically sync the grades from canvas to synergy every week using this because there is always an assignment that reached its deadline every week.  Longest you ever wait to see your grade is one week after you hopefully turned it in.  [/quote]

As a parent trying to help my kids learn to manage all the assignments across all their classes, the teachers that don’t post grades until after the deadline are the most frustrating. I can’t help my kids stay on top of assignments if I don’t even know they exist. Why only post the grade after the deadline, when there is no longer a chance to complete the assignment?[/quote]

I remind the students every single day during the daily agenda about upcoming due dates and deadlines.  By 9th grade they shouldn't need mommy to remind them that something should have been completed 7 days ago.  Are you going to go to work with your child every day when they grow up?[/quote]

New poster. Verbal reminders are not helpful if there are no written deadlines. Or if verbal contradicts with written. If it were a normal workplace students could confirm / clarify instructions and due dates over slack or email to confirm understanding of have receipts in case the unclear supervisor contradicts themself. I am teaching my kid to follow up with emails in these cases, but the teachers who don’t keep their written due dates up to date are usually the ones who don’t read/ respond to email. (What a surprise!)

Just follow IEPs and 504s , learn about learning styles if you call yourself an educator, and put the due dates in the system.[/quote]

I'm the teacher who posted this.  I also am the one that posted about how every single assignment I create in Canvas has not only the due date in the title, but also the deadline and the dates for those who get extended time.  I also have these due dates and deadlines written on the daily agenda slide every day which is also published onto canvas for everyone to see.  Read all the posts in the thread before you cherrypick one to reply to next time you want to try to do a call out.[/quote]
