Wahconah implemented a new policy for the school year in which students will be graded during their DLT. Students will be graded on a scale of zero through three using the following categories: Task Completion, Engagement, Preparedness, and Time Management. The grading rubric for DLT can be found at the bottom of this article. There seems to be mixed opinions on the new grading policy. Many students say it is unfair and unreasonable to expect students to be working intently for the entirety of DLT while others say it has helped them stay focused on getting important work done during DLT.
