Students
will be evaluated uniformly at the culmination of each unit for which a collaboratively
developed MYP topic-ending assessment and rubric have been developed.
Students will
have myriad opportunities each marking period to demonstrate their
understanding through both authentic and traditional means. Students who don’t
demonstrate proficiency on assessments will be allowed to earn a passing grade (up
to 65 only) through completing corrections. Students wishing to complete corrections
MUST attend extra help.
At the
teachers’ discretion, students may continue to earn up to 5 bonus or
extra credit assessment points for completion of relevant tasks. Exception: Departmental culminating assessments
are not eligible for quiz corrections.
