Effort Grades

 

Effort Grades

What are effort grades? What is your stance on this topic?

Anxiety has an effect on how students perform on assessments (Steinmayr et al., 2016). When students are given a grade for their effort, they can see that they are being acknowledged for their work and how hard they are trying. Effort grades help students continue to be determined and work hard to learn their content. I believe that effort grades and content grades should be used in a classroom. These grades should be weighted differently; however, they are both important to student achievement.
