This semester, St Matthew’s staff have collaborated to design an Effort Grade Rubric. The purpose of this rubric is to ensure consistency across classes and to give parents a clear understanding of what the effort grade measures.

Effort grades reflect a student’s application, persistence, and engagement in learning, rather than their academic ability. They consider factors such as:

  • Work Completion
  • Persistence
  • Focus and Engagement
  • Initiiative
  • Presentation of Work
  • Participation
