GRADING A Statement of Purpose Concerning Grades Grading as a way of assessing the progress of students has several purposes: It is a way of communicating progress to the student and parent. It monitors a student's progress over a period of time. It can serve to motivate students to improve performance. It allows a teacher to measure effectiveness of instruction. Students are evaluated in a variety of areas that include tests, homework, attendance, class participation and contribution, initiative and special projects. A student’s letter grade reflects the academic performance of the student. An additional and very important component of a student’s grade will be their effort score – see VIII below.
