10% 10% of the student’s grade will be based upon the student’s knowledge, skill, or technique within the confines of the game/sport. The 10% will be determined by an assessment that will take place near the end of a sport unit. Every teacher may calculate grades differently, however, “The Big Picture” stays the same: 90% for participation, effort, cooperation, attitude, and sportsmanship; 10% for knowledge, skill, and/or technique.
