Edline and Grading
www.edline.net

Final grades are not an average of all grades. Assignments and assessments are weighted in
categories, in order to measure growth in learning and skills.
Participation (10%): Tasks that require independence and responsibility of the student.
Formative Assessment (30%): Tasks that are completed for practice, both in class and
homework.
Summative Assessment (60%): Tasks such as tests, quizzes and essays scored for
knowledge and skill to assess growth in reading and writing. IB rubrics with descriptors
are used for instruction and assessment of writing.
IB grades are given no weight in the class grade; however, at the end of each semester
students will be given an IB grade on their report card.
IB Criterion A: Analyzing (0%)
IB Criterion B: Organizing (0%)
IB Criterion C: Producing text (0%)
IB Criterion D: Style, Language, and Mechanics (0%)
