MYSTIC VALLEY REGIONAL CHARTER SCHOOL English Department Extra Credit Policy – Effective 22 September 2009
I. Extra Credit
Periodically, MVRCS English teachers will offer optional assignments.
These assignments will serve to enrich the curriculum by providing students the opportunity to more deeply explore a curricular topic.
II. Essay and Test Corrections
In order to promote student achievement through reflection and revision, MVRCS English teachers will allow students to rewrite Tier One essays.
When teachers return graded essays to students, they will provide students with a deadline for revisions (to be determined by teachers, based on the nature of the essay).
Teachers will arrive at a final grade by averaging the original essay’s grade and the revised essay’s grade.
Teachers will not allow students to correct tests.
