Grading Guidelines
Daily attendance and participation are very important if a student is to obtain the greatest benefit from a physical education class. Physical education is a graduation requirement and is factored into a student's G.P.A.
60% Engagement
- Dressing
* students are required to dress out daily in athletic wear (t-shirts, sweatshirts, shorts,
sweatpants, gym shoes, etc.)
* a no dress will result in a deduction of up to 10 points
* if a student doesn't have the entire uniform, it is considered a no dress
* students should not be wearing the same clothes they wore to school that day
- Attendance
* students are given 3 free excused absences per quarter (days they are not participating)
* after the 3rd absence, 5 points will be deducted from the participation grade
* truancy or unexcused absences will result in a 5 point deduction and cannot be made
up
- Class Participation
* students EARN 5 points daily for:
* full range of movement in the daily warm-up and activity
* 100% effort
* 100% energy
* appropriate language and behavior
* sitting in attendance lines when class starts
* responsible use of equipment
* performing the instructor's prompts
* listening while the teacher or presenter is talking
* students will lose points for
* checking their cell phone or electronics during class
* talking instead of dancing
* disrupting the learning environment
* off task/inappropriate behavior
* inappropriate language
* minimal effort or "marking" the dance
25% Written Work
- Students will demonstrate acquisition of knowledge through a written unit test and written
assignments
15% Skill
- Students will demonstrate acquisition of skill through skills tests throughout the unit
- Skill evaluation is determined by student performance in meeting rubric criteria
- If a student is absent the day of the skills test, the test will be made up the next day
Make-ups
- Students can make up excused absences, 2 days of non-dressing, and lack of participation
by checking in with me (10 point maximum)
** All students are responsible for checking their grade in the online grade book**
I leave notes when points are deducted for no dresses, class cuts, or phone usage. To view the notes, log on to the Home Access Center. Go to classes and then the schedule tab. In front of the name of the class, there are squiggly lines. Click on that to view the notes and see where points have been deducted.
