What are the DMPS Grading Practices?
A 25-person task force, comprised of teachers, curriculum coordinators, administrators, and specialists, researched SRG practices in place across the country and developed 6 grading practices to be implemented district-wide to serve as a common framework.  A district-wide Task Force 2 then came together after a few years of implementation to revisit all grading practices, with the purpose of ensuring effective and consistent implementation of both grading and reporting student learning.  The grading practices are these:
​

1.  A consistent 4-point grading scale is used. 
2.  Academic achievement is reported separately from behaviors.
3.  Scores are based on a body of evidence. 
4.  Achievement is organized by learning topic. In secondary schools, topic scores are converted to a grade at semester's end.
5.  Students have multiple opportunities to demonstrate proficiency. 
6.  Accommodations and modifications are provided for exceptional learners.
