Sandra Jenkins: No Failing Grades or Evaluations

# data[].attributes.body
Governor Ducey announced there will be no letter grades for Arizona schools due to how disrupted everything has been regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. The same consideration should be extended when it comes to grading/evaluating students and educators. The entire academic school year should be nullified and thrown in the trash, according to many of my business students.

Where's the grace for teachers? - referring to evaluations and accountabilities like pre-Covid.

If kids are stressing out....then no grading. Maybe use an alternative like evidence-based grading. There is a difference between K-8 and 9-12 (Highschool has credits for graduation.)

There must be some level of accountability.

Give us better directions. Wish they would tell me not to grade so I would not be stressed and depressed.

Not everyone has shifted their mindsets. I see non-equitable .........

We are in a life and death situation. Everything has changed.

All teachers should be co-taught in college through special ed! Its good practice for all teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Grading should be moved away from compliance v. mastery of a particular skill.

No marks/Incompletes should be given
Students are struggling in more than one way and we should provide grace.
We are in the business of doing right by children.
Elementary vs. high school students - developmentally appropriate for students
Graduation/credit recovery
Everyone is facing something.
Dual modality - hybrid model
Teachers/students should receive an appropriate evaluation
Why are we still doing the same?
Students are isolated and teacher evaluations should be blanketed
Relationships first

Testing is done differently between schools - why is testing happening so much? The rigor is often low -- students need options to show what they know.

We don't want to penalize students because they aren't logging on for a myriad of reasons - bandwidth etc... There needs to be a paradigm shift on how students are graded anyway - opportunities for students to show what they know.

We must take into account current conditions - good teaching should be happening regardless - students learn in different modes - some are more productive in the clalssroom... Some do well virtually

# data[].attributes.body
We are in observations and its an opportunity to refine teachers, not held as same regard prior to COVID.
