3. AGENDA
• OVERVIEW & RECAP

4. Purcell Marian Blended Learning
It is all about student learning:
 What do students need to learn?
 How do we know students have learned it?
 What do we do if students haven’t learned it
or already know it?

5. Why Math?
•
•
#1 indicator for success in college
Math courses in high school determine academic
opportunity in college
• 2-year college vs. 4-year college
• Program of choice
• Opportunity to meet you where you are
• Revision of formal Math Standards in Ohio reflect
academic need in ALL schools
• Core vs. Non-Core Diploma

6. AGENDA
• GRADING

7. ACTUAL GRADE:
Represents the overall grade in relation to the percentage of coursework
completed vs. the percentage of coursework that should have been completed
This grade is lower than the Overall Grade if a student is behind in their course
and will be the same as the Overall Grade if a student is on-time or ahead of
schedule in their coursework
OVERALL GRADE:
The grade a student has acquired thus far in the course, based on all activities and
assessments they’ve completed.

8. REPORT CARDS:
Students first and third quarter grades will
reflect the students pace towards
completing the work by the end of each
semester as well as the OVERALL grade the
student has currently earned on the
completed work.

9. (Permanent Grade)
At the completion of a semesters work,
the student’s ACTUAL grade for the 2nd
quarter will be entered into both 1st and
2nd quarter grade fields and will be
averaged with the exam grade to create
the semester average on the report
card.

10. Grading
The following system will be used to indicate progress:
A = Accelerated: student is significantly a head of course work required by the end
of this grading period
S = Satisfactory: student is on pace to complete the course in the time allotted
P = Progressing: student is progressing appropriately but is slightly behind where
he/she should be at the end of this grading period.
N = Not Progressing: the student is significantly behind in where he/she should
be at the end of this grading period and should the student continue in this
fashion, the student will fail the course.
The number following the letter represents the OVERALL grade the
student has earned on the completed work regardless of the progress
the student has made.
