Mr. Clark, a teacher in your school system for ten years, has always given a zero grade for missing assignments. Provide one reason why Mr. Clark should stop this practice and one alternative he could use instead of a zero
What will be an ideal response?
Zero grades distort the final grade/diminish the value as an indicator of what was learned and zero grades can undermine motivation. Various alternatives are acceptable including giving a grade of 60% lessens the impact of a zero, making sure students understand grading policies, allowing students to turn in late work for full/partial credit, increasing communication regarding tests/assignments/due dates, breaking projects into segments for grading, and also consider setting an IEP goal for improving time management/self-monitoring.
