[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a secondary teacher and haven’t been told about any of these changes. I’m new to MCPS and hate the grading system. I would prefer to flip the practice/prep and all tasks. I give weekly all tasks grades and daily practice prep grades so [b]how would I fit into these new guidelines?[/b] [/quote]

You won’t be able to keep the daily grades. You could keep all but one weekly grade. TBH, I can see how a daily grade might make some students feel overwhelmed.[/quote]

I enter the daily grade weekly. They can earn up to 3 points a day so for a 5 day week it’s 15 points. That’s 9 practice/prep grades per marking period. Doesn’t count worksheets or other practice assignments I would give during the marking period. I do weekly assessments on the day my principal has assigned for my content area. That’s 9 grades in the All Tasks category for the grading period.

When I missed over 10 days for COVID this fall, I gave students a practice/prep grade each day for each assignment they did with subs. Otherwise, students would have been off the chain acting like they could do whatever they wanted while I was gone. [/quote]

Grades shouldn’t be a classroom management tool.[/quote]
