Wormeli Chapter 8- Question #4

Should effort or behavior ever be incorporated in an academic grade? Do effort and behavior need to be graded at all?

  1. I think it is important to "grade" effort and behavior, so students, parents, and future teachers can be informed of these things. I think they should be graded separately than academic grades. Is there a place on PowerSchool where we can record effort/behavior/citizenship grades separately from academic grades?

  2. I agree. By grading effort and behavior, it can be used to evaluate a student's progress to determine if these have any impact on the academic grades.
