The grading practice I have tried is no homework in the gradebook. Also, if students fail an assessment below 50% they still get 50% in the gradebook. In the comments I put their actual score.

Math: cap off at 50% for all test/quiz, quiz redo for all to earn up to 50% of points losses back.

Viet: grading rubric for project. Homework is actually classwork.

In respects to "Fairness" I allow all kids to redo all playing test as many times a possible in order to play at their best.

In would be open to adjusting my letter grade curve to better support the power of "0" not as negatively effect my students.

Minimum Floor

No penalty for late work

Student trackers (in the past)

metacognition opportunites

-stopped counting homework in the grade. I still post on Aeires as record but it does not count toward the grade.

-I manually add a 50% floor for all summatives

-I provide immediate feedback on essays using Google Classroom

-I use writing rubrics on Google Classroom to grade writing

I've tried and implemented redos, extra time on assignments with no penalty, minimum grading, power of zero, plain language grading scales, no homework grade, and immediate feedback on performance. I'm able to clearly articulate my expectations and what students need to do to redo assignments. I don't waste time chasing pieces of paper. Rubrics are the key to all of this.

This year, I have implemented a 50% floor and also removed all penalties for late work. I think that it enables students to try their best, even well after the due date, and to "get it right" because they know that they can receive full credit.

I have tried minimum grading practices. I am currently trying some version of a redemption day. Students who improve on tests from quizzes will get an adjusted score on their old quiz score.

I currently use a 50% floor for formative and summative assignments. This maintains the 10 point difference between each grade (A-F). I find that this keeps kids in the game even if they miss an assignment or bomb a test.

It really did not shift my grades one way or the other. Students who tended to score lower on the test also tended to score lower on other summative or formative assessments. It did however stop students from dropping so low they could not recover.

Giving the 50% floor minimum on Quizzes/Tests. It gives those struggling students a light at the end of the tunnel to pull up their grade.
Quiz Redos. Students feel better and less stress from their Parents/Guardians why the didn't do well the first time.

The 50% floor really makes sense with regard to the value of accuracy. We have implemented this across our department. I strongly believe in revisiting tests and completing a metacognitive reflection in order to increase understanding and improve overall grade.

I have used minimum grading, and it does make a big difference in encouraging students to make up work and see the effects of their efforts.

I do not assign homework but homework is incomplete classwork. I've also check certain classwork every 2-3 weeks during a notebook check so students are able to finish up their assignments on their own time and convenience. I've noticed higher grades in notebooks ever since I started implementing this.

For tests I do a floor score of 50%. Students are able to raise their grade from classwork if needed.

-No penalty for late work.

-Minimum grading

-redos and corrections on assessments to do in class

Classwork has almost pretty much replaced homework because of the lack of resources a student may have at home to complete homework.

i do minimum grading, WIN/redemption days, 50% floor (as long as you turn it in), metacognition opportunities, and student trackers.

I tried assigning no homework, but I found grades cratered if I didn't make them do some form of practice. In order to give timely feedback I usually keep the assignments to iXL and finishing missing classwork.

I support motivation and a growth mind set for my students. Since the students cannot take the equipment home, there is no homework. I would tell my students what you put into this class is what you get out of the class. Hence, the grades are a reflection of their participation/effort which is so far positive.
