My Analysis

2. Based on your actual computation of grades, from what were the grades of the
learners derived?

6. 3.Which type of grading system does the school have? (letter-grade system, as a
range 4.0-1.0 in percentages, as descriptions- excellent for needs improvement,
pass- fail, checklists of objectives, etc.)

Reporting
1. In the Homeroom meeting, did the teacher’s reporting and communicating of
grades take place smoothly? Or were there instances when discussions became
heated because of the way the reporting was handled? Describe your
observations.
My Reflections
1. Grades are often a source of misunderstanding. How should I do scoring
(especially essay), grading and reporting so that scores and grades are given
fairly to promote learning?

7. My Portfolio
Research on Best Practices of schools on effective scoring, grading and
reporting.
