Homework "Practice" Policy
All work is expected to be completed and ready to be discussed on the following day. Students will discuss and we will go over all practice the next day. Practice is not collected for a grade, but is necessary if a quiz retake or test retake is needed. My intention is to encourage students to do/attempt the suggested practice every night, not base their grade on it. Even if the problem is at least attempted, there is much more learning going on than if the problem or practice was skipped altogether. Even though the practice does not count as part of the student's grade, I do keep track of whether or not they are finished. Each practice assignment will be marked as one of the following:
COM ~ complete on day it is due, INC ~ Incomplete or not turned in.
Grades will consist of summative, formative, and process assessments. All summative and formative assessments should show that the student is meeting in the standards. If for some reason a student has not yet met learning targets, he/she will have to hand in their practice that led up to that assessment and then retake a version covering the same topics. Students must show me that their practice was completed in order to do the retake. This will give me a chance to look over their work and find the areas in which they are struggling, or if they are doing the practice at all. Retakes will happen Wednesdays during ATI.
