Teachers.io - A Place for Teachers!

With the midterm approaching, I wanted to expand a little bit on the information in the syllabus about grades. Students in my classes earn effort grades. They will not see letter grades (A, B, C) on their progress reports. Effort grades are earned through students' preparation for class, level of participation, behavior, and level of perseverance. Much of this is hard to quantify, so things on PowerSchool are only part of the picture. Students should have a sense of how often they arrive with the expected materials, how actively they participate in class, how they behave, and how hard they work.
