Notes from Dan
CANVAS / Grading
The EDGE grading philosophy is unique in that it seeks to motivate students to perform based on intrinsic motivation rather than an extrinsic letter grade. Research shows that when a teacher places a letter grade on an assignment, actual learning ends. Please read the article, Focusing on Mastery Over Marks, in the PARENT READING section below. We are asking more of our students in their learning, and recognize that mastery is each student’s goal.
