Growth is on-going submit assignments late. This policy is founded upon the belief that part of the
process of learning is revising our own work. Similarly, it is important that
teachers are flexible and acknowledge that there are other factors within our own
student lives. When grading, I also believe it is important to provide students
many opportunities to practice such skills/content before being formally
assessed. Thus, you are giving students feedback on their progression rather their
first attempt attempting a skill or learning specific content. When constructing a
grading policy it is essential to promote a growth mindset.
Below is a rubric created for our Interdisciplinary Project. The criteria included on this rubric
exclusively relates to the content learned and skills students had been practicing within the
classroom. Similarly, students were provided with the rubric at the very beginning of the project,
allowing students to assess themselves, reflect on their learning and identify areas to improve.
This rubric is also a space for myself to provide students with feedback regarding their
progression and achievement.
This is a single screenshot of the rubric. The entire rubric can be found with the link at the very
bottom.
